"Ice Cream Recall Alert: Midwest and South Hit Hard"

Ice Cream Recalls Sweep Across Multiple States

It's no secret that Americans love their ice cream, with the average person consuming about 19 pounds of this frozen treat every year. However, recent events have put a damper on this beloved dessert as multiple recalls have been issued affecting ice cream products in various states.

Midwest Recall of Single-Pint Ice Cream Units

The first recall comes from Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery LLC based in Wauseon, OH, and affects eight different flavors of artisan ice cream in single-pint units. This recall was announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to undeclared allergens, specifically soy and wheat, in the products. The affected ice cream was distributed to retailers in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.

The products included in this recall are:

• Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Avalanche Artisan Ice Cream
• Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Chocolate Peanut Butter Artisan Ice Cream
• Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Cacao Brownie Bites Artisan Ice Cream
• Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Cookies and Cream Artisan Ice Cream
• Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Cookie Dough Artisan Ice Cream
• Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Cacao Artisan Ice Cream
• Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Mocha Artisan Ice Cream
• Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery Cacao Strawberry Artisan Ice Cream

All products were packaged in one-pint containers with undeclared allergens listed in the "Contains" statement on the packaging.

Southern Recall of Frozen Pops

The second recall involves ice cream frozen pops inspired by Mexican paleta products from Paleteria La Providencia, a Georgia-based company. This recall was initiated due to a positive result for Listeria species in routine finished product testing. The affected products include coconut, cookies and cream, and coffee ice cream popsicles with specific date codes.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture is working with the company to identify where the recalled products were distributed, as the manufacturer's distribution records were incomplete. Consumers who may have purchased these products are advised to be aware of potential Listeria infection symptoms and to contact the Georgia Department of Public Health if needed.

It's important to note that no illnesses related to these recalled products have been reported thus far, but consumers should remain vigilant. Stay informed about food safety alerts and recalls to protect yourself and your family.
