Ice Cream Recall: Popular Brand Sold at Target, Wegmans, More Recalled for Undeclared Allergen

January 14, 2025

A nationwide ice cream recall is in effect after a popular brand was discovered to have an undeclared allergen on the label.

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) reported that after pasteurized boiled egg white was used to produce 1,350 cases of peach mango sorbet from My Mochi, but was not stated as an ingredient on the label, the FDA found that two incidences of a “minor allergic response” had occurred. As such, the product has been recalled.

A company representative told Newsweek earlier this week that the ice cream recall was “very small,” and that My Mochi is available nationwide at several supermarkets — including Wegmans in New York and “about 100 Target stores.”

After it was found that an ice cream product containing pasteurized egg white was sold in packaging that concealed its existence, the ice cream recall was started. Further analysis reveals that the issue was caused by a brief malfunction in the business’s packing procedures.

Customers are encouraged to return My Mochi Peach Mango Sorbet with lots 337-24 & 341-24 to the store where they bought it in order to receive a complete refund. Customers should call the corporation at 1-844-696-6244 if they have any questions.

The Ice Cream Recall is the Latest Recall

The ice cream recall is the latest nationwide recall to make headlines. Yesterday, Walmart issued a chicken broth recall over faulty packaging.

The Great Value brand of chicken broth, which was sold in 48-ounce containers, is the recalled product. The recall began on Dec. 11, even though the FDA published the notice on its website on Jan. 8.

Walmart acknowledged in a statement that the chicken broth recall affected 242 sites in nine states, even though the FDA had stated that the recalled cartons were shipped to stores in Arkansas and Alabama. Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas were the other states affected.

The recall is being carried out because of “potential for packaging failures that could compromise the sterility of the product, resulting in spoilage,” according to the FDA’s statement. A total of 2,023 cases were included in the chicken broth recall. 12,138 cartons of broth were recalled, including six items each case.

The “best used by” date for the recalled products is March 25, 2026. The UPC for them is “007874206684.” Whether any illnesses had been reported as a result of eating the chicken broth was not mentioned in the recall notice.
