Per the notice, “the recall was triggered by a recall in another country.” On June 30, Enjoy Life issued a nationwide recall in the United States of several baked snacks products “due to the potential presence of hard plastic pieces.” In a notice posted to its website, the Chicago-based company said it “became aware of this issue as a result of internal quality assurance surveillance” and the recall was “being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.” The company added that “there have been no reports of injury or illness received by Enjoy Life Foods to date related to these products.” The full list of the recalled products, which include some sold online on Amazon, can be found by clicking here.

Due to the safety hazard that the baked goods pose to consumers, those who purchased the recalled Enjoy Life products are advised not to eat them. The products should also not be served, sold, or distributed. The company said the recalled products should be discarded, but consumers should keep the packaging and contact the company at 1-855-543-5335 for further information about the recall and how to receive a refund.
