Häagen-Dazs Recalls Popular Ice Cream Bars for Hidden Allergen

Sometimes, food products end up in the wrong package—and for people with allergies, that kind of mistake poses a serious health risk. This is exactly what happened with one of Häagen-Dazs’s most popular ice cream treats.

On November 3, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc., announced a voluntary recall of Häagen-Dazs Dark Chocolate Mini Bars. The company discovered that products containing wheat were repacked into the incorrect packaging at the beginning of a production run. This is a major packaging mix-up—ice cream that contains wheat is now hidden in packaging where wheat is not listed on the label.

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), if someone with an allergy ate the ice cream containing wheat, the consequences could be life-threatening. 

How To Tell if Your Ice Cream Is Part of the Recall

This recall affects six-count boxes of Häagen-Dazs Dark Chocolate Mini Bars distributed to Kroger and Giant Eagle stores in 31 states.

If you or someone else in your family has a wheat allergy, check your freezer to make sure no one is at risk. Here’s how to tell if your food is part of the recall.

What To Do With Recalled Ice Cream Bars

If you have the now-recalled Häagen-Dazs mini bars in your freezer, and you or someone in your house has a wheat allergy or sensitivity, either toss the product or return it to the place of purchase. This ice cream is safe to eat for people who don’t have a wheat allergy, but everyone is eligible for a refund.
