Entenmann's Recalling 4 Products in Wisconsin for Potential Choking Hazard

WISCONSIN — You may have put an Entenmann's treat in your child's lunch for school today, or you may have a package sitting in your kitchen pantry, but it's worth taking a look at your box of Entenmann’s Little Bites brownies after the company has issued a voluntary recall of several snack foods in Wisconsin.

The recall was prompted after customers told the company about finding “small pieces of plastic" in their brownies and muffins. One injury was reported, the company said. The plastic pieces could cause choking or cutting hazards, the company said. Affected products were shipped to numerous grocery stores.

The list of stores where Entenmann's is incredibly long, so if you want to know if you picked up a box of the affected products in your area (or want to let your local grocer know of the recall), you can find where the products where shipped here:
