IGA Brand Vanilla & Chocolate Ice Cream, 1.75 Quart

Dairy Fresh LLC recalled IGA Brand Vanilla & Chocolate Ice Cream, 1.75 Quart 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 May 8, 2013.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared allergens: Almonds, Coconut, Soy Lecithin" 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 "FL, GA KY, NC, OH, PA, SC, TN and WV." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Winston Salem, NC. The recall covers 10,050 cartons of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jun 19, 2013), 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.
