Straus Family Creamery Ice Cream Recall: Check Your “Best By” Dates for Select Organic Super Premium Flavors
Important: Straus Family Creamery is voluntarily recalling select flavors of Organic Super Premium Ice Cream because metal fragments may be present. If you have the affected cartons, don’t eat them. Check the package’s “best by” date and UPC against the FDA list below.
This recall is specific to the named flavors and package sizes with particular best by dates—not all Straus ice cream.
What product is being recalled?
FDA says Straus Family Creamery is recalling Straus Family Creamery Organic Super Premium Ice Cream for the potential presence of metal fragments.
The recall applies only to certain flavors and package sizes with matching “best by” dates and UPCs listed in the FDA notice.
How to check at home (fast)
- Look at the bottom of your carton for the “best by” date. Only specific dates are affected.
- Find the UPC on the package.
- Compare both (flavor + size + best by date + UPC) to confirm whether your carton is included.
If both match an item in the FDA table below, do not eat the ice cream.
UPC / “Best By” date match list (per FDA)
Use this as your checklist. If you don’t see your exact combination of flavor, size, best by date, and UPC, the recall may not apply to your carton.
Refer to the FDA notice for the exact affected UPCs and “best by” dates. Since UPCs and dates are the key identifiers, double-check directly in the FDA recall listing (and match your carton exactly).
Where it was distributed
FDA identifies the distribution footprint in its recall notice. Check the FDA listing for the states/coverage included, so you can assess whether your local store region is covered.
What to do if you have it
Per the FDA consumer guidance for recalled products:
- Do not eat the ice cream.
- Do not return it to the store.
- Discard it safely (so it’s not available to be eaten accidentally).
- Contact Straus Family Creamery for next steps. The FDA notice explains the available replacement/voucher option.
When you contact them, have your carton details ready (especially the flavor, package size, “best by” date, and UPC).
If you already served it
If someone already ate some, the safest next step is to follow the recall guidance for recalled products: don’t serve any more from that carton, and contact Straus for instructions. FoodSafety.gov also provides consumer steps for recalled products.
How to stay updated (in case the list expands)
Recalls can be expanded as more distribution or product runs are identified. For the latest updates, check FDA’s recall page and the FoodSafety.gov recalls hub to confirm you’re using the most current list.
