Court Rules That Baker Has to Stop Using Sawdust in His Cookies

A recent court ruling in Germany is great news if you'd prefer that your cookies weren't made with sawdust.An administrative court in Germany told the owner of a mail-order cookie business that he needs to adjust his cookie recipe.The unnamed plaintiff had been producing and selling the sawdust cookies for "around 20 years.".He alleges that he wrote a letter to the city of Karlsruhe about his ingredient list in 2004, but they never got back to him.He continued to mix sawdust in his dough until 2017, when city inspectors stopped him after running tests on his cookies.The sawdust cookie baker could appeal the court's decision.Or he could, you know, maybe just stop putting sawdust in his cookies.
