Popular ice cream recalled in more than a dozen states over risk of dangerous material in packages – UK Times

A popular ice cream brand has been recalled in more than a dozen states over a risk of “metal foreign material” in the packages.

With scoop season on the way, Americans should be aware of the potential dangers to their favorite frozen treats.

California-based Straus Family Creamery recalled select flavors of its organic ice cream Thursday “due to the potential presence of metal foreign material,” according to a company notice.

The company recalled flavors, including Dutch Chocolate, Vanilla Bean and Strawberry, “out of an abundance of caution.”

No injuries were reported to the company as of Thursday.

Seventeen states are affected by the recall, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.

“Food safety and product quality remain top priorities for Straus Family Creamery,” the company said in a statement.

“The company is taking this action out of an abundance of caution and has implemented appropriate corrective actions,” the statement continued.

The Independent has reached out to the Straus Family Creamery for further comment.

Here is a list of Straus Family Creamery Organic Super Premium Ice Cream affected by the recall:

The company is working with retailers to take any potentially impacted products off the shelves.

Consumers who bought any of the recalled ice cream are urged not to eat it and to throw it away.

Straus Family Creamery is also offering affected consumers a voucher for a replacement ice cream tub at their local store through a form on the company’s website.
