Three widespread recalls of some of America’s favorite staples — coffee, cookies, and cheese — mean it’s time to check your kitchen.
Dollar General Instant Coffee Recall
The discount chain Dollar General has recalled three lots of its 8 ounce (oz) Clover Valley instant coffee because the product may contain glass.
The coffee was sold between July 9 and 21, 2025, in every U.S. state besides Alaska and Hawaii, per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The following lots were recalled:
- Lot: L-5163, Best by 12/13/2026
- Lot: L-5164, Best by 12/13/2026
- Lot: L-5165, Best by 12/14/2026
Ingestion of glass fragments can cause serious injury, including damage to teeth, cuts in the mouth and throat, and perforation of the intestine. Dollar General said it hasn’t received any reports of injury so far.
If you have the recalled instant coffee, you should throw it away. You can contact Dollar General to request a full refund, either by email at [email protected] or by phone at 888-309-9030 from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. CST.
Target Frosted Sugar Cookies Recall
Give and Go Prepared Foods Corporation has recalled about 800 cases of Favorite Day Bakery brand Frosted Sugar Cookies (10 count), which were sold at Target stores across the country, because they may contain wood fragments, according to an FDA enforcement report.
The packaging lists the code Lot 25195. The recalled cookies were sold in the following states: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, and Vermont.
The FDA listed the recall as a Class II event, meaning eating the cookies “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences” and “the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
As of August 15, 2025, Target has not posted a recall notice on its website. In a statement to NBC Chicago, a Target representative said anyone who purchased the cookies could call Target Guest Relations for a full refund at 800-440-0680.

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Infection with listeria during pregnancy can cause miscarriage or stillbirth.
Healthy people don’t usually get sick from listeria exposure, but if they do, symptoms are short term and include fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
