Lic's REESE'S OREO, ONE QUART (946 mL), packed in Plastic quart container

Lloyd'S Ice Cream INC recalled Lic's REESE'S OREO, ONE QUART (946 mL), packed in Plastic quart container in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Sep 21, 2018.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Lloyd s Ice Cream of Evansville, IN is voluntarily recalling pre-packed quarts of Reese s Oreo Ice Cream because the product label does not declare peanuts." Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Domestic Only: IN and KY." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Evansville, IN. The recall covers 571qts of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 17, 2018), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
