Tennessee Breyer's Ice Cream Lovers Unite: Mint Chip Product Recall
Egad! Is nothing sacred? Can we Tennesseans who love Chocolate Chip Mint or Cookies and Cream find no safe haven? This week, which I report while holding back tears, Unilever has recalled these nectars of the gods:
Englewood Cliffs, NJ, October 22, 2009 –Unilever United States, Inc., of Englewood Cliffs, NJ, in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is voluntarily recalling a limited number of tubs of Breyers®ice cream because it was MISPACKAGED and may contain UNDECLARED WHEAT. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of allergic reaction if they consume this product.
On a limited number of tubs, the lid describes the product as “Breyers®All Natural Cookies & Cream” ice cream, and the tub portion of the package describes the product as “Breyers®All Natural Mint Chocolate Chip” ice cream. The product inside of the tub is “All Natural Cookies & Cream.” The ingredient statement on the tub does not declare wheat, which is an ingredient of the Cookies & Cream product.
The mispackaged ice cream product was distributed in Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, TENNESSEE, Trinidad and Virginia through retail stores in these locations and adjoining areas. The affected product is being recalled from consumers and retailer store shelves, back rooms and warehouses.
Fear not! You Memphis calorie lovers need not forgo the delectable, tongue-pleasing treat. simply venture forth to your local grocery for a refund. The affected mispackaged product was distributed in 1.5-quart (1.41L)paperboard tubs marked with UPC # 077567254245 located on the side of the tub and in combination with “Best If Used By” dates of FEB1711GH, FEB1811GH and FEB1911GH located on the bottom of the tub.
