If you’re planning to grab a box of ice cream from your freezer tonight, you might want to double-check the label.
A popular ice cream brand has issued a recall in Michigan due to a labeling error that could pose serious health risks to individuals with allergies.
Recall Details
The recall affects My Mochi Peach Mango Sorbet, produced by The Mochi Ice Cream Company based in Vernon, California. A total of 1,350 cases have been recalled nationwide, including products sold at major retailers like Target.
Why Was It Recalled?
The issue lies in the product’s packaging, which fails to mention the presence of pasteurized cooked egg white. This allergen can trigger serious allergic reactions in individuals with egg allergies.
The recalled sorbets are packaged in orange 6-count boxes weighing 7.5 oz and are found in the freezer section. The affected lot numbers include:
- 337-24
- 341-24
So far, there have been two minor allergic reactions reported. The error was attributed to a temporary packaging oversight.
What Should You Do?
If you have a box of the recalled product, here are your options:
- Return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
- Dispose of the product to prevent potential allergic reactions.
