Brenham, TX – Blue Bell Creameries has issued a voluntary recall of select half-gallon cartons of its Moo-llennium Crunch ice cream due to undeclared nuts that could pose a risk to consumers with severe allergies.
According to a company release Friday, the product was mistakenly packaged in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cartons topped with Moo-llennium Crunch lids. The ice cream inside contained almonds, walnuts and pecans, which were not listed on the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough packaging.
The error was discovered after a Blue Bell employee noticed two mislabeled half-gallon cartons while restocking a retailer. Company officials said no illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported, and no additional cases of incorrect packaging have been found to date.
The recalled product was produced at the company’s Brenham, Texas, facility and distributed in a limited quantity. Customers with nut allergies are advised not to consume the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Blue Bell stressed that the recall is limited only to Moo-llennium Crunch packaged in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough half-gallon cartons and does not affect any other flavors or product lines.
Food recalls due to undeclared allergens are among the most common safety alerts issued nationwide. The Food and Drug Administration lists tree nuts, including almonds, walnuts and pecans, as major allergens requiring clear labeling on all food products.
Consumers with questions may contact Blue Bell’s customer service hotline for additional information.
