Ice cream recalled because it contains an allergen not listed as an ingredient

Patriot-News - 5/24/2023

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream of Brooklyn, New York, has voluntarily recalled some pints of ice cream that contain walnuts that are not listed as an ingredient.

Walnuts are an allergen. People who are allergic to them could have an allergic reaction if they eat the ice cream.

Recalled are 4,096 frozen, 14-ounce pints of French Ice Cream Brown Sugar Chunk. The ice cream was sold nationwide, according to an announcement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recalled pints have a lot number of 23P102 and a best-by date of April 12, 2025.

“The recall was voluntarily initiated after a customer complaint led to the discovery that the ice cream in this lot contains walnuts but was distributed in packaging that did not declare the presence of walnuts. The cause of the product labeling error is being investigated.”

The ice cream can be returned to the place of purchase for a refund.
