That's because on Nov. 4, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shared the announcement of a voluntary recall of Häagen-Dazs Dark Chocolate Mini Bars. A batch was found to contain undeclared wheat, which could cause life-threatening reactions in individuals with wheat allergies or sensitivities.
What Should I Look For?
The affected bars are packaged in a six-count box. They had the batch code LLA519501 and a "Best By" date of Jan. 31, 2027.
The boxes were shipped to Kroger and Giant Eagle stores nationwide.
The Kroger locations are in 29 states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Additionally, the Giant Eagle stores are located in Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
"No other Häagen-Dazs products or other batches of Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars are affected by this recall," the announcement read.
Has Anyone Been Affected by the Häagen-Dazs Recall?
According to the announcement issued by Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, which distributes Häagen-Dazs in the United States, no illnesses or injuries have been reported at the time the recall was announced.
"We are recalling this product because it may contain products that contain wheat in packaging that does not reveal the presence of wheat on the label," the statement read. "Although our investigation is ongoing, we believe products containing wheat were repacked into the incorrect packaging at the beginning of a production run."
The company advises customers with a wheat allergy or sensitivity who have purchased the product not to consume it. They should either dispose of it or return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
"The safety, quality, and integrity of our products remain our number one priority," the company says. "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action represents to both our consumers and retail customers."
Customers with any questions can contact Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream by phone at 800-767-0120 between 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday or send an email to this address: dreyers@casupport.com.
