Check Your Freezer: Straus Family Creamery Ice Cream Recall Affects Select Pint and Quart Cartons
If you have Straus Family Creamery Organic Super Premium Ice Cream in the freezer, check it now. The FDA says Straus Family Creamery voluntarily recalled select flavors and carton sizes because of a potential presence of metal foreign material.
This is a discard-not-return recall. If your carton matches the exact flavor, size, best-by date, and UPC in the FDA notice, do not eat it. Throw it away.
What to check in your freezer
Look for Straus Family Creamery Organic Super Premium Ice Cream in pint and quart cartons. The FDA notice identifies the affected products by specific flavor, carton size, best-by date, and UPC, so match all of those details before deciding whether a carton is included.
The recall affects select products distributed in 17 U.S. states. Because the notice is limited to certain cartons, not all Straus Family Creamery ice cream is involved.
If a carton matches the FDA-listed identifiers, set it aside and discard it. Do not taste it to check, and do not serve it to family members, guests, or children.
Why the ice cream was recalled
The company recalled the product because of a potential presence of metal foreign material. Foreign material issues matter because small hard fragments can injure teeth or cause choking or other mouth and throat injuries.
The FDA notice said no injuries had been reported at the time of the recall. Even so, the safest step is to follow the recall exactly and get the product out of the freezer.
What consumers should do
- Check any Straus Family Creamery Organic Super Premium Ice Cream in your freezer.
- Compare the flavor, carton size, best-by date, and UPC with the FDA recall notice.
- If it matches, do not eat it.
- Discard it rather than returning it.
- Tell anyone else in your home who may have bought or served the ice cream.
If you shop for grandparents, kids, or a busy household, it can help to do a quick freezer sweep before dessert night. A one-minute label check is usually enough to rule a carton in or out.
Bottom line
This recall is narrow, but it is worth checking. If you have Straus Family Creamery Organic Super Premium Ice Cream in pints or quarts, compare the package details carefully against the FDA notice. If it is included, throw it away and move on to a safe replacement.
For the most reliable answer, use the FDA notice as the final match point before serving anything from the freezer.
