Each week, we track the latest food- and beverage-related recalls issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and manufacturers to help keep you safe. From potential contamination risks to undeclared allergens and labeling mix-ups, these recalls may affect items in your pantry, fridge, or freezer.

Here are the ongoing recalls we are monitoring in early-mid August—and what to do if you have the affected products.

Ongoing Grocery Recalls This Week

Target’s Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies

Over 12,000 packages of Favorite Day Bakery Frosted Sugar Cookies were recalled on July 22, 2025, by Give and Go Prepared Foods Corp. after they were found to be potentially contaminated with pieces of wood. The incident was classified as a Class II recall by the FDA on Aug. 4, 2025.

The cookies were distributed to Target stores in 20 states, though it’s currently unclear whether the cookies ever reached store shelves or were recalled before becoming available to the public. The 10-packs can be identified by UPC 85239-41250 and lot number 25195. They have varying “Best By” dates depending on when they were pulled from the freezer by the retail locations. If you do have the recalled sugar cookies, do not eat them. Instead, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

Friendly’s Ice Cream

On Aug. 5, the FDA announced that Friendly’s Ice Cream is recalling select tubs of its Vanilla Bean ice cream for undeclared allergens. The tubs actually contain the brand’s Cookies & Cream ice cream, which includes soy and wheat. Individuals with allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients could experience severe or life-threatening reactions if they consume the mislabeled product.

The recalled product is packaged in 48-ounce Friendly’s Vanilla Bean cartons with a Cookies & Cream lid and a “best by” date of Nov. 26, 2025. No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported to date.

Aldi Park Street Deli Cinnamon Bun Dessert Dip

The FDA announced that over 19,000 units of Aldi’s Park Street Deli Cinnamon Bun Dessert Dip are being recalled due to possible plastic contamination. While the dip, made by Superior Foods Company, was recalled on July 24, it was classified on Aug. 8 as a Class II recall, indicating potential for temporary or medically reversible health effects. Affected 7-ounce tubs have UPC 4061462440151, lot code 16225, and a “sell by” date of Nov. 8, 2025.

If you have the recalled Park Street Deli Cinnamon Bun Dessert Dip, do not consume it. Instead, throw the dip away or return it to your local Aldi store for a full refund.

Neuhaus Chocolates’ Belgian Chocolate Moments Smurfs ‘Popping Milk Chocolates with Cookies’

According to the FDA, Neuhaus Chocolates issued a voluntary recall of its Belgian Chocolate Moments Smurfs “Popping Milk Chocolates with Cookies” on Aug. 8 due to an undeclared wheat allergen. Consumers with wheat allergies or sensitivities risk serious or life-threatening reactions if they eat the product.

The chocolates were distributed between July 21 and Aug. 4, 2025, in Neuhaus stores located in New York, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., as well as through the company’s online store. Affected batches have the lot numbers 80108690 and 80108763 and the “best before” date Jan. 13, 2026. If you are allergic or sensitive to gluten, do not consume this product and return it to the original place of purchase.

Hans Kissle Red Potato Bliss Salad/Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad

On Aug. 5, the FDA announced that Hans Kissle is voluntarily recalling 66 units of its Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad due to an undeclared wheat allergen. The recall was issued after it was discovered that the product was mislabeled: the front label correctly identifies the salad as Tricolor Twist Pasta Salad, which contains wheat, but the top label mistakenly lists it as Red Bliss Potato Salad, a product that does not contain wheat. As a result, gluten is not declared where consumers would expect, posing a risk to those with allergies or sensitivities.

The mislabeled salads were distributed to Stop & Shop locations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, and may still be in consumers’ refrigerators. Each affected unit comes in a 16-ounce clear plastic container with a white lid, marked with UPC code 036217673706 and a “use by” date of Aug. 20, 2025.

NuNaturals Organic Pure Stevia and Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener

The FDA announced on Aug. 1 that NuNaturals, Inc. has issued a nationwide Class II recall for 78 bottles of its sweetener products due to a labeling error involving allergens. Specifically, some bottles labeled as Organic Pure Stevia (1-ounce, UPC 7 39223 00204 0) were mistakenly filled with monk fruit sweetener. Alternately, bottles of Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener (0.71-ounce, UPC 7 39223 00187 6) were filled with stevia powder. Both have “best by” dates of April 2028.

Anyone with allergy concerns should check the lot number and “best by” date on their products, and avoid consumption if you have either of the affected products.
