Certain cream puffs made earlier this month are being recalled because of the possibility of metal fragments, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced.
In a news release Wednesday, the FDA stated that Poppies International Inc. of Battleboro, North Carolina, is recalling certain cream puffs that were made from Dec. 7 through Dec. 10, 2021, because of the metal fragments.
The issue was discovered during production, the FDA said.

No injuries or incidents have been reported in connection with the items, the agency said.
The FDA said there was concern that consumers may still have unused portions of the cream puffs, since their expiration dates stretch through June 2023.
The products included in the recall were available for sale from Dec. 16 to Dec. 23, 2021, the FDA said. They can be identified by the lot numbers and best-before dates, which can be found on the side of each tub by the lid.
The products were distributed in the following locations:
- Delizza 120-count Cream Puffs distributed to select Costco locations in Northern California as well as Carson City and Sparks, Nevada.
- Delizza 30-count Cream Puffs distributed to select Safeway locations in Northern California.
- Delizza 30-count Chocolate Enrobed Cream Puffs at select ShopRite and PriceRite locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
