US food safety authorities have launched an urgent nationwide recall for multiple ice cream products that may contain undeclared tree nuts – a potentially fatal allergen for susceptible individuals.
Potentially Deadly Oversight
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an urgent alert regarding Real Kosher Ice Cream and Sorbet products that failed to declare the presence of tree nuts on their packaging. The oversight could prove deadly for those with severe nut allergies.
Affected Products
The recall affects the following varieties sold in 16oz packages:
- Vanilla Chocolate
- Razzle
- Caramel
- Parve Vanilla Chocolate
- Parve Razzle
- Parve Caramel
- Parve Lite Peanut Butter
Immediate Health Risk
Consumers with tree nut allergies risk severe or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products. The FDA warns that even trace amounts can trigger anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals.
What to Do
Customers who have purchased these products should:
- Immediately stop consumption
- Return products to place of purchase for full refund
- Check their homes for any affected items
- Contact healthcare provider if any symptoms appear
The manufacturer has voluntarily recalled the products and is working with distributors to remove them from shelves nationwide.
