Nationwide Ice Cream Recall Issued Over Allergy Concerns
A popular brand of ice cream has been urgently pulled from supermarket shelves across the country. Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams has initiated a voluntary recall for one specific batch of its Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars. The action was taken after the company discovered the product contained undeclared wheat and soy, posing a potential danger to consumers with allergies or severe sensitivities to these ingredients.
Identifying the Affected Product
The recall is isolated to a single production batch. Consumers are urged to check their freezers immediately for any cartons of the Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars bearing the batch code 25-210. The problematic batch was distributed to grocery stores nationwide, meaning the product could be in homes anywhere in the UK.
The company has clarified that the allergens were inadvertently introduced during the manufacturing process. A crunch topping intended for a different product line was accidentally mixed into this specific batch of passion fruit bars.
What Consumers Should Do
As of Thursday, 20 November 2025, no illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported in connection with this allergen risk. Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams is taking a proactive approach to ensure customer safety.
If you have purchased the affected ice cream bars, you should not consume them. The company advises that you return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. Alternatively, customers with questions or concerns can contact Jeni's customer service team directly for further assistance.
This incident highlights the importance of robust food safety protocols in manufacturing to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate labelling for consumer protection.
