Haagen-Dazs Ice-Cream Recall

RECALL


According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Nestle USA, owner of Haagen-Dazs ice cream, has issued a recall. The reason for the recall is mismatched packaging. Some containers of ice cream labelled as "Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream" contain "Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream."

The recall notice states that Nestle is recalling 10,000 packages in the Eastern U.S., including in the District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.

A consumer reported the mislabeled product to Nestle.

Under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, peanuts are a "major food allergen" and must be included on a product's label.
