Pennsylvania State University Berkey Creamery recalled Penn State Creamery/Berkey Creamery Ice Cream -- Keeny Beany Chocolate flavor; 3 gallon (paper), 1/2 gallon (paper) and pints (plastic) in a Class II action, the FDA tier for products that may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects on Sep 13, 2012.

The recall cites foreign-material contamination: "Erring on the side of caution and safety for the consuming public, the University Creamery at Penn State is voluntarily recalling all ice cream and frozen yogurt made between May 16, 2012 and August 11, 2012 because of isolated incidents involving reports of small plastic foreign objects in the product." Physical contaminants such as metal, glass, or plastic can cause choking, cuts, or dental injuries.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "On site retail salesroom and internet customers." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Penn St Univ, PA. The recall covers N/A of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 14, 2012), 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.
