Affected products
The FDA notice identifies the recalled cartons by flavor, package size, best-by date, and UPC. Check your package against the official notice before you use it. Because not every Straus product is included, the easiest first step is to compare the exact label on the carton in your freezer.
If your ice cream matches the recall details, throw it away. If you are unsure whether a carton is part of the recall, contact Straus Family Creamery for help identifying it before anyone serves it.
Why this matters for families
Ice cream often gets tucked into back corners of the freezer, especially when households stock up in bulk, buy treats for guests, or keep a shared freezer with grandparents, roommates, or caregivers. A quick freezer check can prevent an accidental scoop from a recalled carton.
It is a good idea to check pints and quarts together, read the flavor name carefully, and verify the best-by date and UPC before you assume a carton is safe. If you share groceries with family members, let everyone know to look before serving.
