Trader Joe's shopping is usually peaceful, given to the chain's carefully chosen selection of products. When news of product recalls surfaces, the shopping experience becomes far less relaxed.

Trader Joe's most recent recall involves two types of cookies: Almond Windmill cookies and Dark Chocolate Chunk & Almond cookies, both of which may contain rocks.

The recall includes Almond Windmill cookies with a sell-by date between October 19 and 21, 2023, as well as Dark Chocolate Chunk and Almond cookies with a sell-by date between October 17 and 21, 2023.

The batches of cookies could contain rocks, prompting the recall. Customers who have concerned products in their hands should either return them to the store or throw them away,

as is the case with most recalls. Having said that, this specific recall has us wondering how rocks wound up in Trader Joe's cookies.

This isn't the first time individuals have discovered rocks in their store-bought food. Conagra, for example, recalled their Birds Eye Broccoli Tots in 2021 after

two customers suffered oral injury from rocks detected in their food. No one seems to know how the rocks came up in the tots in the first place.

However, according to the food inspection authority, rocks can occasionally end up in foods containing raw components such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts such as almonds.

Furthermore, while almonds are subjected to metal detectors and visual examinations, some small rocks may get through unnoticed.

Given that both recalled Trader Joe's cookies contain almonds, this appears to be the most plausible explanation, but we won't know for certain until the grocery store makes an official announcement.

In the meanwhile, check the expiration dates on your cookies and reconsider consuming nuts.
