Popular sweet treat brand Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams has announced a voluntary recall on one specific batch of ice cream bars due to allergy concerns.
On Monday, Jeni's initiated the single batch recall of Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars over the potential presence of undeclared wheat and soy, which could cause a reaction if consumed by someone with an allergy to either ingredient.
"The recall was initiated after a crunch topping from a separate product was inadvertently introduced to this particular batch of Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars during manufacturing," the FDA confirmed in a press release Tuesday. "The crunch topping contains wheat and soy, which is not declared on the packaging."
Both wheat and soy allergies can trigger symptoms ranging from mild (hives, itching, stomach pain, nausea) to severe, potentially even causing anaphylaxis.
What to know
The only batch impacted by this recall contains the following code on top of the carton: 25-210. This batch of Jeni's Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars was distributed nationwide.
No other products are involved in the announcement, and thankfully no illnesses or injuries have been reported.
What to do
If you're in possession of the affected product, you're urged not to consume it and instead return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
Consumers can reach Jeni's directly at 614-488-3224 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday, as well as by email at contact@jenis.com.
Jeni's is the latest ice cream recall
Two weeks ago, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. announced it was recalling a "limited" number of Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars also due to an allergy concern.
The bars, which were distributed to Kroger and Giant Eagle grocery stores in 31 different states, potentially contained wheat and did not have the appropriate packaging.
"We are recalling this product because it may contain products that contain wheat in packaging that does not reveal the presence of wheat on the label,” Dreyer’s said in a press release. “Although our investigation is ongoing, we believe products containing wheat were repacked into the incorrect packaging at the beginning of a production run.”
