Nabisco factory in New Jersey closing after 63 years

Friday was the last day for residents of a New Jersey town to smell the sweet aroma of freshly baked Oreo cookies as the community’s Nabisco plant shut down after 63 years in operation.

Parent company Mondelez International confirmed it was the last day of production at the Fair Lawn plant, which has produced Oreos, Ritz crackers, Lorna Doone and Teddy Grahams since 1958. The plant’s approximately 600 workers have either retired, transferred or were looking for other jobs, the company said.
