Workers at an ice cream manufacturing plant inspect products following a recall announcement.
Straus Family Creamery, a Northern California-based organic ice cream producer, has issued a voluntary recall for specific production runs of its Organic Super Premium Ice Cream. The recall was initiated after the company identified the potential presence of foreign metal material in the product.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that the affected ice cream was distributed to retailers in 17 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. The recall impacts select pint and quart containers of vanilla bean, strawberry, cookie dough, Dutch chocolate, and mint chip ice cream.
Not all Straus Family Creamery products are included in this recall. The affected items can be identified by specific “best by” dates ranging from December 23, 2026, through December 30, 2026. These products began appearing on store shelves on May 4. Consumers should check the “best by” date printed in black on the bottom exterior of the container.
As of the recall notice, no injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled ice cream. Straus Family Creamery is working with retailers to remove the potentially affected products from shelves. Consumers are advised not to consume the recalled ice cream and to discard it, rather than returning it to the store.
Customers who purchased the recalled product can visit the company’s recall website to obtain a voucher for a replacement product. For further inquiries, consumers can contact Straus Family Creamery via email at support@strausmilk.com or by phone at 1-707-776-2887, Monday through Friday, between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT.
This recall follows a similar incident last month where California-based Loard’s Ice Cream recalled numerous products sold in Northern California due to undeclared allergens, including milk, eggs, wheat, peanuts, and soy. No illnesses were reported in that instance either.
