Nearly 18,000 tubs of ice cream and frozen yogurt recalled over potential plastic contamination
The company that makes Blue Bunny and Halo Top products has recalled nearly 18,000 containers of ice cream and frozen yogurt over concerns that the foods possibly contain pieces of plastic.
Wells Enterprises, an Iowa-based company, issued the voluntary recall on April 25, according to a report from the Food and Drug Administration last week.
The nationwide recall includes 22 flavors of ice cream and frozen yogurt in 3-gallon tubs. The items have 'Best If Used By' dates ranging from March 2026 to October 2026.
The affected 3-gallon-tub products were distributed at 103 centers nationwide, including
Le Mars, Iowa
Wyoming, Mich.
Rosemont, Ill.
Houston, Texas
Fort Worth, Texas
The FDA provides a detailed list of all the recalled products in its report.
The recall is considered a Class II event by the FDA. This means that if the product is consumed, it may 'cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,' according to the FDA website.
There have been no reported illnesses related to the recall as of Sunday, May 18.
The FDA report does not include instructions for consumers who have purchased affected containers. The Wells Enterprises website encourages customers to fill out a form with any questions, comments or concerns.

A British TV art expert who sold works to a suspected Hezbollah financier is sentenced to prison
LONDON (AP) — An art expert who appeared on the BBC's Bargain Hunt show was sentenced Friday to two and a half years in prison for failing to report his sale of pricey works to a suspected financier of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group. Oghenochuko Ojiri, 53, pleaded guilty to eight offenses under the Terrorism Act 2000. The art sales took place between October 2020 and December 2021. Ojiri, who also appeared on the BBC's Antiques Road Trip, faced a possible sentence of five years in prison in the hearing at London's Central Criminal Court, which is better known as the Old Bailey. In addition to the prison term, Justice Bobbie Cheema-Grubb said Ojiri faces an additional year on license. Ojiri sold about 140,000 pounds ($185,000) worth of artworks to Nazem Ahmad, a diamond and art dealer sanctioned by the U.K. and U.S. as a Hezbollah financier. The sanctions were designed to prevent anyone in the U.K. or U.S. from trading with Ahmad or his businesses. 'This prosecution, using specific Terrorism Act legislation, is the first of its kind and should act as a warning to all art dealers that we can, and will, pursue those who knowingly do business with people identified as funders of terrorist groups,' said Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command. The Met's investigation into Ojiri was carried out alongside Homeland Security in the U.S., which is conducting a wider investigation into alleged money laundering by Ahmad using shell companies. Ahmad was sanctioned in 2019 by the U.S. Treasury, which said he was a prominent Lebanon-based money launderer involved in smuggling blood diamonds, which are mined in conflict zones and sold to finance violence. Two years ago, the U.K. Treasury froze Ahmad's assets because he financed Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite militant organization that has been designated an international terrorist group. Following Ojiri's arrest in April 2023, the Met obtained a warrant to seize a number of artworks, including a Picasso and Andy Warhol paintings, belonging to Ahmad and held in two warehouses in the U.K. The collection, valued at almost 1 million pounds, is due to be sold with the funds to be reinvested back into the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Home Office.
