A California-based creamery has issued a voluntary recall on some of its ice cream due to the possible presence of metal fragments. Straus Family Creamery, headquartered in Petaluma, California, issued a recall notice Thursday, stating that a small number of production runs of select flavors and sizes of its Organic Ice Cream were potentially contaminated with a metal foreign material.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration shared the recall announcement on its website the following day.
The recall impacts certain pint and quart sized containers of Straus Family Creamery Organic Super Premium Ice Cream in several flavors. Affected products include Ice Cream Vanilla Bean in pint containers with best by dates Dec. 23 and Dec. 24 and Dec.
25, 2026; Ice Cream Cookie Dough in pint containers with best by date Dec. 26, 2026; Ice Cream Dutch Chocolate in quart containers with best by date Dec. 30, 2026. The ice cream was distributed to retailers across 17 states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
Impacted products were available on store shelves starting May 4, 2026.
Food safety and product quality remain top priorities for Straus Family Creamery. The company is taking this action out of an abundance of caution and has implemented appropriate corrective actions, Straus Family Creamery said in its announcement last week.
The FDA has been informed of this voluntary recall, and Straus Family Creamery is working with retailers to remove the potentially affected products from shelves, the company said. No other Straus Family Creamery ice cream products are included in the recall.
There have been no injuries reported in connection with the recall. Straus Family Creamery has urged consumers who may have purchased any of the recalled products to discard them and not eat them. The company is offering a voucher for impacted customers who fill out a form online to redeem for a replacement product.
