The products were sold in 6 oz. clear plastic tub containers with a Best Before date of 10/13/23.

A customer who purchased a package noticed a substance that was later identified as a macadamia nut.

"An investigation determined the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in The Cookie Factory and Maverick Ventures’ packaging process. We have not received any complaints of illness or injury," the FDA adds.
