Albertsons Peanut Butter Chocoate Ice Cream, 1.5 QTS (1.42 L), (chocolate ice cream with a peanut butter swirl)

Dean Foods Company recalled Albertsons Peanut Butter Chocoate Ice Cream, 1.5 QTS (1.42 L) 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 Oct 10, 2012.

The recall was triggered by possible Salmonella contamination: "Product was manufactured using an ingredient that was recalled due to Salmonella contamination." Salmonella is one of the most common causes of U.S. foodborne illness, with symptoms that typically appear within six hours to six days of exposure.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Sold by retailers in AZ, CA, CO, ID, MT, ND, NV, OR, UT, WA, and WY." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Dallas, TX. The recall covers 67,781 x 1.5 QTS of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 21, 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.
