About foreign object concerns
Foreign objects in processed foods, such as metal, plastic, or, in this case, wood-like material, can enter during manufacturing and pose risks like choking, dental injury, or gastrointestinal irritation if consumed. While the recall notice did not detail the exact nature of the contaminant beyond its wood-like appearance. Consumers experiencing symptoms—such as mouth injury, discomfort, or digestive issues—after consuming these products should seek medical attention promptly.
