I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, but before you eat another bite, be sure to check the packaging. That’s because there is a massive recall of nearly 18,000 containers of ice cream, frozen treats, and frozen yogurt over concerns that they could contain pieces of plastic.
Wells Enterprises, an Iowa-based ice cream manufacturer, which is the parent company of Blue Bunny, Bomb Pops, and Halo Top, issued the voluntary recall last month, according to recently released information from the Food and Drug Administration.
Dallas news outlet KXAS-TV reports that the nationwide recall includes 22 flavors across a variety of brands of ice cream and frozen yogurt, which were all sold in three-gallon containers. The ice cream was distributed from 103 centers across the United States, including Houston, Texas and Fort Worth, Texas.
The recalled products have “Best If Used By” dates ranging from March to October 2026. If you picked up any of these flavors before the long weekend and the summer heatwaves, throw them out or return to the store where they were purchased.
