Texas’s BRENHAMA small batch of ice cream is being recalled by Blue Bell Creameries due to a packing issue that could seriously endanger the health of those who are allergic to nuts.
Due to incorrect labeling, the business announced on Friday that it is discontinuing a small number of half-gallon cartons made at its Brenham, Texas, facility. Although the impacted product was packaged in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough boxes with a Moo-llennium Crunch cover, it really contained Moo-llennium Crunch Ice Cream.
Due to the confusion, consumers with nut allergies may experience potentially fatal responses from almonds, walnuts, and pecans that are not included on the label, according to Blue Bell.
According to the company, a Blue Bell employee was replenishing a merchant when they noticed the problem. There have been no reports of infections or negative reactions.
The identifier 061027524 placed on the top of the half-gallon lid identifies the recalled cartons. Retailers in Texas and sixteen other southern and midwestern states received them.
Customers are advised to return the item for a refund to the store where they purchased it. Customers can contact Blue Bell via phone at 979-836-7977 or by email at [email protected] for additional information.
The recall is known to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Founded in 1907 as the Brenham Creamery Company, Blue Bell Creameries is a company situated in Brenham, Texas. Prior to turning to ice cream in 1911, the company made butter. In 1930, it was renamed Blue Bell Creameries.
In 2015, a worldwide recall brought on by a listeria epidemic dealt the industry a serious blow.
In 2020, the business admitted guilt to marketing ice cream items connected to the 2015 listeria outbreak and was ordered to pay $17.25 million in criminal penalties. According to prosecutors, federal investigators discovered that the corporation kept shipping goods from its facilities even after discovering that some of them had tested positive for listeria. The case led to the highest criminal sentence ever given in a food safety case in the United States, and the contamination was linked to illnesses in Kansas.
