Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has announced a voluntary recall of one batch of its popular Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars due to the potential presence of undeclared ingredients. The recall comes following guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which indicated that the affected bars may contain undisclosed wheat and soy.
Individuals with allergies or severe sensitivities to these substances are at risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the affected product. The company emphasized the importance of consumer safety and is taking immediate steps to prevent any adverse health effects.
The specific batch subject to recall is identified as batch number 1396, with a sell-by date of July 10, 2024. These ice cream bars were distributed nationwide in the United States, primarily through retail outlets and online sales. Customers who have purchased the recalled product are advised to check their freezers for the affected items.
In a statement, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams reiterated its commitment to transparency and consumer safety. They encouraged anyone who has the recalled ice cream bars to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The recall highlights the critical need for food manufacturers to accurately label all ingredients, particularly allergens that can pose significant health risks. This incident follows a broader trend in the food industry, where increased scrutiny over food safety practices has led to more frequent recalls.
As the company navigates this situation, it will work closely with the FDA and other relevant authorities to ensure compliance with food safety regulations. Jeni’s has assured customers that they are conducting a thorough investigation into the source of the undeclared ingredients and will take necessary corrective actions.
Consumers are urged to remain vigilant and report any adverse reactions to the product to their healthcare provider. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of reading food labels and being aware of potential allergens, particularly for those with known sensitivities.
