A Bay Area ice cream maker issued a voluntary recall of more than 40 products after they were sold without proper food allergy labels, putting people with sensitivities to peanuts, milk, eggs and other foods at risk, the Food and Drug Administration said.
Loard’s Ice Cream, which is headquartered in San Leandro, said it was recalling dozens of flavors sold in 32- and 56-ounce containers.
As of Friday, no illnesses had been reported as a result of the labeling issues, the FDA said.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, or wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the company said in a statement posted to the FDA’s website, which included a full list of the flavors being recalled.
The ice cream being recalled were distributed to Loard’s Ice Cream parlors in Northern California, where they were made available for purchase from storefront freezers, the company said. The total volume of the ice cream being recalled was not immediately clear.
Anyone who purchased Loard’s ice cream included in the recall was urged to return it for a full refund or replacement.
