Popular Ice Cream Brand Faces Urgent Recall After Contamination Scare
Ice cream lovers, beware. Your favorite brand may be affected by a recent FDA recall. Wells Enterprises, an Iowa-based company, has voluntarily recalled nearly 18,000 containers of ice cream and frozen yogurt due to the potential presence of plastic contamination. The manufacturer is known for popular brands like Halo Top and Blue Bunny. The recall affects 22 flavors of ice cream and frozen yogurt packaged in 3-gallon tubs, distributed to 103 locations across the U.S. This includes centers in Le Mars, Iowa; Wyoming; Michigan; Rosemont, Illinois; and both Houston and Fort Worth, Texas. Some of the ice cream was distributed to food service suppliers and restaurants, including Gordon Food Service, US Foods, and Sysco Corp, as well as Johnny Rockets and Planet Smoothie locations. The affected products have "Best If Used By" dates ranging from March 2026 to October 2026. The FDA has classified the recall as a Class II event, meaning the affected products may cause "temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences" if consumed. So far, there have been no reported illnesses in relation to the recall. Since the ice cream was distributed in bulk, it's unlikely to be sitting in a typical home freezer. However, if you run a business, shop at bulk food stores, or are a customer of any of the affected brands, it's important to be aware of the recall. Wells Enterprises has not released a statement regarding the recall. But, as with any recall, the standard guidance is to either dispose of the affected product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
