Nestle said the recall was ordered after "a small number of consumers" reported seeing "white plastic pieces" in the dough. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, the company said.
Nestle added that it's working with the US Food and Drug Administration to raise awareness of the recall.
"The quality, safety and integrity of our products remain our number one priority. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action represents to both our consumers and retail customers," the company said in a statement.
In 2019, Nestle, the world's largest food company, recalled more than 20 varieties of its Ready to Bake Cookie Dough because of possible contamination by rubber pieces.
