A popular organic ice cream brand has issued a voluntary recall after concerns that some products may contain metal fragments.

Straus Family Creamery announced the recall alongside the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after identifying a potential contamination issue involving select batches of its ice cream products.

Multiple Flavors Included in Recall

According to the recall notice, only specific production runs are affected, not the company’s entire ice cream lineup.

The impacted flavors include Vanilla Bean, Strawberry, Cookie Dough, Dutch Chocolate and Mint Chip in both pint and quart containers.

Consumers are being advised to check “best by” dates carefully and avoid consuming any recalled products.

Products Distributed Across 17 States

The recalled ice cream had reportedly been distributed to retailers in 17 states beginning May 4.

States affected include California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Washington, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Arizona and several others across the country.

The company said it is actively working with stores to remove the impacted products from shelves.

FDA Informed About Voluntary Recall

The FDA confirmed the recall on May 15, stating that Straus Family Creamery voluntarily initiated the action due to the possible presence of “metal foreign material.”

So far, no injuries or illnesses connected to the products have been reported.

The company emphasized that the recall was launched out of caution while corrective measures are being implemented.

Customers Urged Not to Eat Products

Consumers who purchased any of the recalled ice cream are being instructed to throw the products away rather than consume them.

Straus Family Creamery also said customers can contact the company directly with questions or request replacement vouchers through the official recall page.

The company has provided customer service support during weekday business hours.

Food Safety Remains “Top Priority”

In a statement posted on its website, Straus Family Creamery said food safety and product quality remain top priorities for the company.

Officials added that the recall is part of broader efforts to address the issue quickly and prevent any future contamination concerns.

The company has not publicly shared how the possible metal fragments may have entered the production process.

Food Recalls Continue to Rise Nationwide

Food recalls involving foreign materials have become increasingly common in recent years, ranging from plastic contamination to metal fragments and packaging defects.

Experts say companies often issue voluntary recalls before confirmed injuries occur in order to reduce risk and comply with federal safety guidelines.

Consumers are encouraged to monitor FDA recall notices regularly, especially for refrigerated and packaged foods.
