Straus Family Creamery Recalls Select Ice Cream Flavors in 17 States Over Possible Metal Fragments
Stras Family Creamery has voluntarily recalled select organic ice cream flavors after the company said they may contain metal fragments. The FDA posted the notice on May 29, 2026. If you bought Straus ice cream recently, this is a good time to check the freezer before serving dessert to kids, guests, or anyone in the household.
What is affected
The recall covers select flavors of Straus Family Creamery organic ice cream distributed in 17 states. According to the FDA notice, the recalled products are limited to the specific flavors, UPCs, lot codes, and best-by dates listed by the company. Do not assume all Straus products are included.
Shoppers should compare every carton carefully against the official recall details, including the flavor name, package size, UPC, lot code, and best-by date. If the product in your freezer matches the notice, do not eat it.
What families should do now
If you find the recalled ice cream, discard it or follow the company’s return instructions. If the package touched a shelf, scoop, or freezer drawer, wash those surfaces before putting food back. That is a simple but worthwhile step for households that store desserts alongside other frozen foods.
This kind of check is especially important in homes that buy ice cream for children, grandparents, or guests, since frozen desserts often get served straight from the carton without a second look.
Where it was sold
The FDA says the recalled ice cream was distributed in 17 states. Because grocery distribution can vary by store and region, the safest approach is to rely on the exact product identifiers in the notice rather than the brand name alone.
Have any injuries been reported?
According to the FDA notice, no injuries have been reported so far. Even so, the company is asking consumers to stop using the affected products and check their freezers now.
What to check before serving dessert
Look for the recalled Straus Family Creamery organic ice cream flavors, then verify the UPC, lot code, and best-by date. If anything matches the recall notice, throw it away or return it as instructed. If you are unsure, do not serve it until you confirm the package details against the FDA alert.
For the exact flavor names and identifiers, use the FDA’s recall notice and compare line by line. That is the quickest way to decide whether the carton in your freezer stays or goes.
