Organic Dairy Producer Recalls Ice Cream Over Metal Fragments

A California producer of organic dairy products has recalled some of its ice cream over the possible presence of “metal fragments,” according to a notice posted by federal regulators.

FDAStraus Family Creamery said that select flavors and sizes in a “small number” of production runs could have “metal foreign material.” The affected flavors, including vanilla bean, strawberry, cookie dough, Dutch chocolate and mint chip, were distributed to retailers in 17 states beginning May 4.


The company said that it has implemented “appropriate corrective actions” and was working with retailers to remove the product from shelves. No injuries were reported as of mid-May.

The notice did not indicate how the company identified the problem.
