FDA Updates Ice Cream Recall for Suspected Foreign Matter
A regionally recognized dairy has been working to remove this mix before it met customers in five states. The post FDA Updates Ice Cream Recall for Suspected Foreign Matter appeared first on The Healthy.
Following up on Wednesday’s FDA recall announcements on two ice cream products, today comes additional information helping to identify the chocolate ice cream ingredient that recently impacted five states as part of one of yesterday’s recall announcements.
Many local residents know Pennsylvania-based Galliker milk, whose maker, as we’ve learned, has a foodservice division that appears to supply milk-based ingredients to Dairy Queen locations in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and its home state of Pennsylvania.
On Thursday, July 30, the FDA issued a follow-up report providing updated, clearer information on the recalled product in Wednesday’s announcement. Galliker initiated a May 21, 2026 recall on 74 cases of “Chocolate Reduced Fat Ice Cream Mix” (previously noted as “DQ Mix Choe 5 Gal, 5 Gallon Bag”), apparently distributed as a soft-serve ingredient to Dairy Queen stories in the five states listed above.
Also once again, the reason for the recall is documented as: “Foreign material found in product (identified as metal shavings).”
As AllRecipes has pointed out, a previous code number associated with this recall was reportedly 1496318, but in the July 30 report, the FDA lists JUN1226 as a “new value” by which customers could identify recalled product. The new value appears to be an expiration date, which would likely mean product would have been removed independent of the recall.
The FDA assigned this as a Class II recall, the mid-level health risk in their three-tiered system. This indicates that consuming the product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences” or that “the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
