How can I find out if the box of Ultimate Gourmet choc chip cookie dough in my freezer has ever been recalled?(Clasic Choc Chunk) #5101

Thank you for a response

I am very disappointed in you Snickerdoole cookies. They were crystallized when I tried to bake them . Other friends that bought them when I did, had the same problem. The cookies seem to be old and to long in the refrigerator. It is only $16.00 it would cost me more to return the cookies. But I thought you might like to know.
