Blue Bell Creameries has issued an urgent recall for select half-gallon containers of its Moo-llennium Crunch Ice Cream after a packaging error placed it inside Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cartons. The issue? Moo-llennium Crunch contains undeclared almonds, walnuts, and pecans, a serious health risk for those with tree-nut allergies.
What Went Wrong and Where It Reached
- The mislabeling occurred at Blue Bell’s Brenham, Texas factory, with only products stamped with lot code 061027524 affected.
- Distribution covered 16 states including Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, and more.
- Thankfully, no allergic reactions have been reported so far.
What You Need to Do
- Check your freezer for Moo-llennium Crunch in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cartons (look for lid code 061027524).
- Return any affected carton to the store for a full refund.
