A German cookie company had been making and selling sawdust-enhanced treats for around 20 years, and the owner claimed they only used "microbiologically sound" sawdust.
A recent court ruling in Germany is great news if you'd prefer that your cookies weren't made with sawdust—and less great if you only eat cookies that have been made with sawdust.
The Verwaltungsgericht (VG) Karlsruhe, an administrative court in the southwestern city of Karlsruhe, Germany, flat-out told the owner of a mail-order cookie business that he needs to adjust his recipe and stop selling any baked goods containing sawdust.
According to Juris.de, the unnamed plaintiff had been producing and selling the sawdust-enhanced 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 quietly continued to mix sawdust into his cookie dough until 2017, when city inspectors ran a couple of tests on his cookies, and told him that he had to stop selling them immediately.

They can make a person cones-ipated.
Yup.
I used to sell wood pulp “chemical cellulose” to the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. They would refine it and add it to all sorts of products for human consumption.
Sawdust is used in grated parmesan cheese.
I’d swear these bastards at our local mediocre grocery store are using sawdust in their bakery goods.
Yep, immediately remembered the stories about The Siege of Leningrad, when they made bread from sawdust.
Heh, don’t give them any ideas!
15 is my limit!
Do you know why Huell Gibbons?

I don’t buy grated.
FTA: they only used “microbiologically sound” sawdust
They will rename to “organic sawdust” and sell even more.
Cheese or wood?
Russian recipe?
I always grate my cheese freshly. I choose not to deal with the preservatives.
