Food and drug safety ministry recalls cookies made without registration

The food and drug safety ministry said it had halted sales and ordered a recall of two cookie products made without food manufacturing and processing business registration.

Nax, a food manufacturing and processing business in Asan, received the products from an unregistered manufacturer and falsely labelled them as directly manufactured by Nax.

The Dubai chewy cookie was sold in 600-gram packages, with use-by dates from Feb. 13 through March 23, 2027. Its production totalled 1,856 kilograms, or 61,860 packages. The strawberry Dubai chewy cookie came in 800-gram packages, with production totalling 329 kilograms, or 8,220 packages.

Consumers who bought either product should stop eating it and return it to the place where it was purchased.
