no, where did you hear that?
Its true that various fruits and vegetables do contain traces of insect parts, there are actually regulations on how much insect is allowed per volume per food.
I guess if there is a pest that attacks figs and that pest has a parasitoid predator that happens to be a wasp, and they get mulched up into cookies, then yeah its possible, but these things wont appear in the ingredients.......and most of the rumors about this kind of stuff is all just speculation, and usually not factual!
Do Fig Newtons contain wasp eggs?
no, unless accidentally added in the cooking process
Reply:Urban myth alert! Sorry, no, but that doesn't mean that the FDA has not allowed some entomological contaminates into the cookies either.

In short, fig wasps are found in inedible figs, or caprifigs, and Fig Newtons are made from edible figs, which have a different flower structure which prevents fig wasps from laying eggs there.
