Blue Bell Ice Cream is voluntarily recalling a select lot of Blue Bell Butter Crunch Ice Cream that was produced on a specific line on August 26, 2019 for possible foreign material contamination, which can pose a choking hazard and mouth injury hazard. A consumer notified the company that a piece of a plastic tool was found in a half gallon container of the ice cream.
According to the company the broken tool was inadvertently incorporated into the production process in a small amount of the ice cream. So the company is recalling a full day of production of this flavor from the manufacturing facility.
The recalled product is Blue Bell Butter Crunch Ice Cream packaged in half gallon containers. This code is on the top of the lid: 082621222. This product was distributed in parts of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
All stores that are directly delivered to by Blue Bell Creameries have been told to remove the product from their store shelves, but consumers may still have the product in their home freezers. There have been no reports of injuries or adverse reactions received to date in connection with this recalled item.
If you bought this product with this specific code, do not eat it. Throw it away or take it back to the place of purchase for a full refund.
