‘Life-threatening’ packaging mix-up leads to recall of popular ice cream

  • DFA Dairy Brands, LLC has recalled 324 cartons of Friendly's 48 fluid-ounce Cookies & Cream ice cream due to a packaging error.
  • The ice cream was mistakenly packaged in Vanilla Bean cartons, which do not list soy or wheat, posing a serious allergic reaction risk to consumers.
  • Affected Friendly's ice cream, with a best-by date of 26 November 2025, was sold in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, with no illnesses reported.
  • Separately, Rich Ice Cream Co. recalled over 110,000 cases of various ice cream bars last month due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
  • The Rich Ice Cream recall, a Class II situation, affected products sold in 23 US states and Nassau, Bahamas, with consumers advised to discard them immediately.
