Ohio creamery recalls ice cream flavours
Millions of people in US are subject to food allergies or food sensitivities, says FDA. Food sensitivities can range from mild reactions to potentially life-threatening symptoms. The agency recognizes nine major food allergens: milk, eggs, sesame, fish, tree nuts, crustacean shellfish, peanuts, wheat and soybeans.

While no illnesses have been reported so far, the presence of undeclared allergens poses a potential risk to consumers with soy or wheat allergies. Soy can trigger reactions ranging from mild symptoms—such as hives and stomach cramps—to severe anaphylaxis in sensitive individuals. Wheat allergies can cause similar symptoms—including respiratory issues, skin reactions and, in some cases, life-threatening allergic responses.
The recalled ice cream pints were sold in paper cartons with paper lids and distributed to six retailers in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. The recall covers all expiration dates, which are printed on the bottom of each carton. "There have been no reports of illness involving products addressed in this recall, however, individuals exhibiting signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction after consuming Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Ice Cream involved in this recall should contact a physician immediately," according to a news release from the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products are urged not to consume them and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Those with questions can call 419-583-7124.
