Straus Family Creamery, a company that sells organic ice cream, has issued a voluntary recall of certain ice cream flavors distributed to retailers in 17 states due to the potential presence of metal, a press release stated.The company, which initiated the recall last week, said it was recalling a “small number of production runs” of the following ice cream flavors: vanilla bean, strawberry, cookie dough, Dutch chocolate and mint chip. Customers can identify whether their ice cream flavor was impacted by the recall by looking at the “best by” dates on the bottom of the ice cream’s pint or quart container. The affected “best by” dates are listed on the company’s website here. Straus Family Creamery said that the recalled products were distributed to the following 17 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.The recalled ice cream products have been on shelves since May 4, according to the press release. Straus Family Creamery said that no injuries have been reported and that it had informed the FDA of the voluntary recall. Straus Family Creamery did not immediately respond to a request for comment on how many ice cream products are affected by the potential metal contamination.TShum via Getty ImagesStraus Family Creamery recommends that customers who purchased any of the recalled products discard them. The company website states that the metal in question was stainless steel, and that it had issued a voluntary recall after “finding a damaged piece of equipment that had the potential to result in a metal fragment or fragments in the specific flavors and best by dates of our recall.”The company said it had paused production to complete an “overhaul of the production line to repair the equipment and resolve the source of the potential contamination.”“Production will only resume after we thoroughly review the work performed and are satisfied with the corrections,” the press release states, adding that no metal fragments had been reported in the ice cream at the time of the announcement. Straus Family Creamery recommends that customers who have purchased the recalled product fill out a form on the company’s website here to request a voucher or to redeem a replacement at their local retailer.
