Entenmann’s Little Bites fudge brownies, chocolate chip muffins, and variety packs are being recalled due to the fact that some of them may contain “little pieces of plastic” inside of the snacks. [1]
Bimbo Bakeries in Illinois, which produces the Little Bites, has said that this is due to a manufacturing failure. The company is issuing the recall voluntarily.
So far, one person has been injured by the snack.
Affected products have been shipped to 30 states throughout the nation. Among those that are recalled are variety packs with a “Best By” date of September 24. The chocolate chip muffins and brownies that are affected have “Best By” dates of October 8.
