An ice cream producer from Iowa has initiated a recall of close to 18,000 containers of ice cream and frozen yogurt due to the potential presence of plastic fragments. This precautionary measure was announced in September, as detailed in recent disclosures from the Food and Drug Administration.
The recall affects products from Wells Enterprises, which is known for its well-regarded brands including Blue Bunny and Halo Top. A report from KXAS-TV highlights that the recall spans a variety of 22 distinct flavors of ice cream and frozen yogurt, all packaged in 3-gallon tubs. The specific items being recalled have “Best If Used By” dates that extend from March through October of 2026.
Consumers who have purchased these products are advised to be cautious and to check for the stated best-use dates to avoid any potential health risks associated with the accidental ingestion of plastic pieces. Although no injuries or incidents have been reported, the recall aims to maintain product safety and consumer trust.
