Yummy Foods Recalls Non-Dairy Ices Due to Milk Allergen Contamination
Yummy Foods, based in Edison, NJ, has issued a recall for their Yummy Swirly Ices due to the potential presence of milk allergens. Despite being marketed as non-dairy, the popular frozen treats may contain traces of milk, posing a serious risk for individuals with milk allergies or severe sensitivities.
While the products remain kosher and have been confirmed kosher parve by the CRC Kashrus Agency, this issue is entirely related to allergen contamination, not kashrus concerns. The affected items were distributed in retail supermarkets across New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio, Chicago, Florida, and California.
Product Details and Warning
These products, packaged in vibrant, Yummy-branded boxes, can be found in the freezer section of independent kosher supermarkets. The recall was triggered after a customer with an allergy to milk reported discomfort after consuming the Swirly Ices. Yummy Foods immediately initiated an investigation into potential cross-contamination of their production line.
For those with a milk allergy or sensitivity, consuming these ices may lead to a serious allergic reaction. It’s important that consumers avoid these products if they are allergic to milk and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Ensuring Consumer Safety
If you are not allergic to milk, the product remains safe to consume, and there are no concerns about the kosher status of these products. Yummy Foods has been proactive in addressing the issue and is working closely with food safety authorities to resolve the contamination.
Returning Recalled Products
Consumers who have purchased the recalled Yummy Swirly Ices can return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund. It’s essential to check the packaging if you have food allergies or sensitivities to ensure that your product is safe for consumption.
