Thousands of gallons of ice cream are subject to a voluntary recall due to possible plastic contamination, according to a report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The recall affects 22 varieties of ice cream and frozen yogurt distributed by Wells Enterprises, which oversees brands like Blue Bunny, Halo Top and Johnny Rockets.
The recall was listed as Class II, which says exposure to a “violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” but also that “the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,” or unlikely to happen, the FDA explains on its site.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported.
