Gottheimer Deeply Disappointed by Mondelez’s Announcement to Close Fair Lawn Bakery

FAIR LAWN, NJ — Today, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) released the following statement:

“I am extremely disappointed by Mondelez’s decision to close their Fair Lawn facility, leaving the community and 600 families in the lurch. These hardworking men and women literally just put their lives on the line during the pandemic, never missing a day so that Mondelez could meet the skyrocketing demand for their products. It’s unfortunate that the company didn’t consider the offer we presented to help them stay and rebuild their iconic facility and remain in the community. We will all miss the smell of the fresh-baked Oreos and other cookies that has wafted through Fair Lawn for the past six decades.”
