Straus Family Creamery has initiated a voluntary recall of multiple organic ice cream products distributed across 17 states after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration flagged a potential metal fragment hazard. The recall affects pints and quarts of popular flavors including Vanilla Bean, Strawberry, Cookie Dough, Dutch Chocolate, and Mint Chip.
The recalled items were shipped to retailers in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. The products first hit shelves on May 4, according to the company’s announcement.
Consumers are advised to check the best-by dates printed on the bottom of containers. Affected best-by dates range from December 23 to December 30, 2026, depending on the flavor and size. The company warns against consuming any of the impacted products and recommends returning them to the point of purchase or discarding them immediately.
Straus Family Creamery has set up a dedicated recall page where customers can request a voucher for a replacement product. The company says it is working with retailers to remove potentially contaminated stock from store shelves. As of now, no injuries have been linked to the recall.
The recall adds to a string of recent food safety actions, including a chocolate recall tied to salmonella-tainted dates and a salmonella scare affecting snack mixes sold at major retailers.
For further inquiries, the creamery can be reached via email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-707-776-2887 between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific time, Monday through Friday.
This recall highlights ongoing challenges in the food supply chain, a topic that has gained urgency amid broader discussions about health emergency preparedness across states.
