Wells Enterprises, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is voluntarily recalling a limited number of packages of its Blue Bunny® Personals® ice cream 5.5 fl oz. because it was mispackaged and contains undeclared wheat. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat and/or have gluten sensitivities may be at risk from consuming these products.

On a limited number of packages, the lid describes the product as Blue Bunny Super Chunky Cookie Dough ice cream, and the carton portion of the package describes the product as Blue Bunny Peanut Butter Panic ice cream. The product inside the carton is Super Chunky Cookie Dough. The ingredient statement on the carton does not declare wheat, which is an ingredient in the Super Chunky Cookie Dough product.

The affected mispackaged product was distributed in 5.5 fl oz. Personals cartons, with Lot Number 10009 “Best Used By” date 10/1/2012, – UPC 0 70640 00463. The lot number and UPC can be found printed on the side of the carton.

The affected product was shipped to the following states: Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota, Tennessee, Florida, Wisconsin, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Massachusetts, and Texas.

Wells Enterprises, Inc. became aware of the packaging error after receiving a report from a store that the lid and cup were for different products.

The allergy alert and recall relates only to the above mentioned mispackaged Blue Bunny ice cream. No other Blue Bunny ice cream products are affected.

No adverse reactions have been reported to date.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products should return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. Anyone requiring more information should contact Wells consumer affairs at 1-800-331-0830 between the hours of 8am and 5pm CST Monday-Friday

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 10, 2011 – Oberweis Dairy, Inc. of North Aurora, Illinois is recalling quarts of Brownie Fudge Twirl Ice Cream because it may contain undeclared eggs. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. Brownie Fudge Twirl Ice Cream quarts were distributed almost exclusively through the company’s retail stores and through its home delivery service with extremely limited distribution through 7 grocery locations in Illinois and Wisconsin. The product is in black quart containers with a gold rim on the lid displaying the flavor “Brownie Fudge Twirl.”

No other Oberweis products are affected by this, and no illnesses have been reported. People who do not have egg allergies or sensitivities can eat the product without concern.

The product concerned has UPC 616029064550 made at plant #17-61 (all dates).

This alert was initiated after the Company’s own internal packaging review process identified that that product containing eggs was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of eggs. Subsequent investigation revealed that Oberweis had submitted the change (triggered by a change in the brownie inclusion) to the maker of the packaging, but the change was not made on the packaging itself in error.

Consumers who have purchased quarts of Oberweis Brownie Fudge Twirl Ice Cream quarts are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or replacement. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 866-623-7934.
