FDA Announces Recall of Popular Ice Cream Bars Sold Nationwide Due to Allergy Risk
If you’re a fan of Jeni’s ice creams, here’s something you’ll want to know. A popular flavor has been recalled across the U.S., and the FDA is urging customers to check their freezers right away.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has announced a nationwide recall of its Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars after discovering that a batch was accidentally contaminated with a crunch topping containing wheat and soy. These allergens were not listed on the product label, which makes the issue potentially serious—especially for people with allergies.
According to the FDA, this mix-up happened during manufacturing when the topping from another product was unintentionally introduced into this specific batch. While the bars look completely normal, anyone with a wheat or soy allergy could have a life-threatening reaction if they eat one.
The good news? As of now, there have been no reported illnesses or injuries related to the recall.
How to Identify the Recalled Product
Only one batch of bars is affected. Here’s how to check yours:
- Product: Jeni’s Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars (box of 3)
- Batch Code: 25-210
- Where Sold: Grocery stores nationwide
- Location of Code: Printed on the top of the carton
- Status: This is the only impacted batch.
What Symptoms to Watch For
Allergic reactions can show up quickly and may include:
- Itchy skin or hives
- Swelling of the lips, face, or throat
- Stuffy or runny nose
- Tingling in the mouth
- Stomach discomfort
- Trouble breathing
- Anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that requires calling 911 immediately
If someone with a wheat or soy allergy eats one of these bars, they could be at serious risk.
What You Should Do
If you find the recalled batch in your freezer:
- Do NOT eat it.
- Return it to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
- If you have questions, you can reach Jeni’s customer service at 614-488-3224 (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. EST) or email contact@jenis.com.
Jeni’s and the FDA are encouraging customers to act quickly to ensure their safety.
