Breyers recalls 6,600 cases of Rocky Road ice cream over potentially life-threatening allergen
Unilever subsidiary Breyers has issued a nationwide recall of more than 6,600 cases of Rocky Road ice cream after a packaging error resulted in potentially dangerous allergen mislabeling, according to a newly released enforcement report from the Food and Drug Administration. The June 2 recall involves 6,668 cases — each containing multiple units — of Rocky Road ice cream that were mistakenly packaged in tubs labeled as Breyers Chocolate Truffle. While the tub label stated 'may contain tree nuts,' the lid identified the product correctly as Rocky Road and declared almonds as an ingredient. 3 Unilever subsidiary Breyers has issued a nationwide recall of more than 6,600 cases of Rocky Road ice cream. MelissaMN – The FDA classified the incident as a Class II recall, indicating that exposure to the mislabeled product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, particularly for individuals with nut allergies. The mislabeled ice cream was distributed to retail stores and distribution centers across the United States. The affected product is listed under lot number JUL1026GB3 with the UPC 077567457288. The mix-up involves Breyers' 1.5-quart Rocky Road ice cream, which contains almonds — a tree nut that can trigger severe allergic reactions. In contrast, the Chocolate Truffle tub that was used by mistake doesn't clearly state that it contains almonds. Instead, it only carries a vague 'may contain tree nuts' warning, which could put people with nut allergies at serious risk if they rely on the label to stay safe. Although the recall is ongoing, no press release has been issued by the company as of Tuesday, and the FDA has listed the case status as open. 3 The June 2 recall involves 6,668 cases of Rocky Road ice cream that were mistakenly packaged in tubs labeled as Breyers Chocolate Truffle. Breyers Unilever notified affected retailers and distributors via letter, according to the FDA's Enforcement Report. The Post has sought comment from Unilever. The recalled product was manufactured at Unilever's facility located at 2400 Rose Parkway in Sikeston, Mo. Unilever has not announced when the recall will be fully resolved, and the FDA has not yet marked the case as terminated. Consumers with nut allergies are advised to check their freezers and return or discard any products matching the affected lot number. Anyone experiencing allergic reactions after consuming the product should seek medical attention immediately. While the labeling error may seem minor, the consequences for consumers with severe allergies can be life-threatening.

Check Your Freezer—Popular Ice Cream Recalled Due To Potentially Life-Threatening Allergen
Summer is just around the corner and ice cream is the quintessential warm weather treat. But if you have a carton or two chilling in your freezer, you might want to check the label. Breyers recently issued a recall on 6,668 cases of ice cream due to "undeclared allergens and mislabeled product." According to the FDA, the voluntary recall was initiated on June 2 because Breyers Rocky Road, which contains the almonds, was packaged incorrectly. The ice cream was packaged in Breyers Chocolate Truffle tubs with Rocky Road lids, which may be a concern for anyone who purchased the product and has a nut allergy. While almonds are a tree nut, the Chocolate Truffle tubs offer misleading ingredient information. The tubs say "may contain tree nuts" while the lids say "contain almonds." The FDA classified the recall as a Class II, which is defined as "a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote." So how do you know if your ice cream is affected? Take a peek at the packaging of your Breyers ice cream tub. Affected products have the lot number: JUL1026GB3 and UPC code: 077567457288. In a statement to PEOPLE, Breyers says: "People with an almond allergy should not consume the product due to risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction. The safety and quality of our products is our top priority. For more information, consumers can visit or call 1-800-931-2826."

FDA Announces Recall of Breyers Ice Cream for Undeclared Life-Threatening Allergen
Unilever Manufacturing, Inc, has issued a recall for select tubs of Breyers ice cream due to a labeling error. Breyers' Rocky Road Ice Cream was inadvertently packaged in a 'Chocolate Truffle' tub with a 'Rocky Road' labeled lid. Because of the packaging error, the ice cream contains undeclared allergens. Unilever initiated the recall for 6,668 cases on June 2, 2025, and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) classified it as a 'Class II' recall, meaning eating the ice cream 'may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,' on June 10, 2025. To determine if you have the recalled ice cream in your freezer, look for a Breyers tub labeled as 'Chocolate Truffle' ice cream with a mismatched lid labeled 'Rocky Road' ice cream. The tubs actually contain Rocky Road ice cream—a chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and chocolate-covered almond pieces—rather than Chocolate Truffle ice cream, which is a dark chocolate ice cream with dark chocolate truffles. The 1.5-quart tubs have the lot code JUL1026GB3 and UPC 077567457288 printed on the package. The Breyers ice cream has been recalled because it may contain undeclared allergens, specifically nuts, which the FDA requires to be disclosed on the label. The Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream tub says the ice cream 'may contain tree nuts,' while the Rocky Road Ice Cream lid says the product contains almonds. Because the tubs contain Rocky Road ice cream instead of the Chocolate Truffle ice cream, the allergen warning of "may contain tree nuts" on the side of the tub is technically accurate. However, Unilever is recalling the product out of an abundance of caution. So, if you have nut allergies or sensitivities, you should not consume the recalled Breyers ice cream as it can cause serious or life-threatening allergic reactions. Instead, throw the Breyers ice cream away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. If you do not have nut allergies or sensitivities, you do not need to respond to this recall. The Breyers ice cream was recalled out of caution due to a packaging and labeling issue that could lead to allergic reactions, not because the ice cream is inherently unsafe to consume. However, if you do have the Breyers Chocolate Truffle tub that contains Rocky Road ice cream, and you would like to return it for a refund or replacement to purchase the correct flavor, you can.
