Walnut Creek, California-based Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream is voluntarily recalling a limited number of its Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars in the USA that may contain undeclared wheat. Persons with an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The affected product is Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars in the 6-count package with batch code LLA519501 and a Best By date of January 31, 2027. Packs were shipped to two retail customers, Kroger and Giant Eagle, in the following states:
• Kroger: (AL, AK, AZ, AR, CA, CO, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NM, OH, OR, SC, TN, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY)
• Giant Eagle: (IN, MD, OH, PA, WV)
No other Häagen-Dazs products or other batches of Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars are affected by this recall.
While no illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, a press release from the manufacturer states: “We are recalling this product because it may contain products that contain wheat in packaging that does not reveal the presence of wheat on the label. Although our investigation is ongoing, we believe products containing wheat were repacked into the incorrect packaging at the beginning of a production run. Consumers with a wheat allergy or sensitivity who have purchased the affected product are urged not to consume the product and instead dispose of it or return it to their place of purchase for a full refund.”
