Frozen yogurt stand to debut at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden this summer
The latest exhibit hitting the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is organic frozen yogurt. The Walker Art Center is welcoming Fro Yo Soul Sips and Snacks, which will take up residence at the home of Spoonbridge and Cherry daily beginning June 7. The treat purveyor was selected after a request for proposals was issued in 2024 looking for a company to complement the food options already offered at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. For more than a decade, the frozen yogurt-slinging shop has been posting up at festivals, food truck events, and art fairs around the Twin Cities. Now, it'll make the Walker its home for the summer, serving frozen yogurt with a variety of toppings, including fruit, granola, candy, and cookies. The Sculpture Garden's menu will also have local craft beer, wine, frozen lemonade, and other non-alcoholic and THC-infused drinks, as well as popcorn and hot dogs, which will be available in vegetarian and gluten-free options. 'We're honored to be part of the Sculpture Garden's legacy,' Fro Yo Soul co-founder Zack Rethlake says. 'We hope to be a spot where people connect over art, nature, and a swirl, snack and sip or two.' Fro Yo Soul will be open in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, a joint project from the Walker Art Center and Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

Check Your Freezer—Over 16,000 Gallons Of Ice Cream Have Been Recalled
The sun's out, the temps are rising, and you know what that means… we're officially in summer season! Think: long evenings of frozen cocktails, outdoor dinners, and sweet treats all around. Except—well, not ice cream. Because the Food and Drug Administration just recalled 16,000 gallons of it. Wait, what? Yeah, I'm right there with you. How does ice cream even get recalled? Apparently, if it contains plastic. The products in question are made by Wells Enterprises, which issued a voluntary recall of 22 products on April 25. The recall is classified as a Class II, which the FDA defines as 'a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.' As of now, there haven't been any reported incidents of harm, so it looks like your favorite summer treat is still safe to enjoy—for now. But if you've got the recalled products in your freezer (more on that below), it's time to toss them. So, which products are on the chopping block? It's a long list, but here's the breakdown: All of the affected pints are sold in 3-gallon tubs and carry an expiration date between March 2025 and October 2026. The most recalled product? "Vanilla Frozen Yogurt," with a total of 5,280 tubs affected. Below, you'll find the full list of recalled products, along with their UPC and lot numbers: Rocky Road Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 070640050314; Lot 50009 Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream; UPC: 070640050420; Lot 50016 Peanut Butter 'N Fudge Ice Cream; UPC: 070640050574; Lot 50012 Country Rich Vanilla Ice Cream; UPC: 070640600052; Lot 50085 Scooper Hero Ice Cream; UPC: 070640050642; Lot 50011 Cotton Candy Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 070640050482; Lot 50018 GFGB Vanilla Bean Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 070640000272; Lot 50024 Quick Blend Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 070640050604; Lot 50034 Planet Smoothie ZSA Vanilla Fat Free Frozen Yogurt; UPC: 070640005567; Lot 50014 Johnny Rockets Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 070640006564; Lot 50029 BIPC Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 070640008025; Lot 50024 Vanilla Frozen Yogurt; UPC: 00070640022144; Lot 50002 Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 070640022250; Lot 50005 GFGB 12 Percent Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 070640018451; Lot 50004 Gordon Choice Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 00093901820730; Lot 50003 Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (Madagascar Vanilla); UPC: 50758108658085; Lot 50026 Glenview Farms Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 50758108118398; Lot 50066 Glenview Farms Chocolate Ice Cream; UPC: 50758108118404; Lot 50033 Glenview Farms French Vanilla Ice Cream; UPC: 50758108392668; Lot 50015 Sysco French Vanilla Ice Cream; UPC: 00074865257275; Lot 50025 Keith Valley Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 046045065871; Lot 50004 Ellington Farms Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream; UPC: 046045065833; Lot 50003 You Might Also Like Insanely Easy Weeknight Dinners To Try This Week 29 Insanely Delicious Vodka Cocktails

Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt Recall Includes 22 Products, Over 17,000 Tubs
Rocky road ice cream from Wells Dairy is included in the recall. But accidentally ingesting the ice ... More cream won't necessarily mean a rocky road for you. (Photo: Getty) Life in plastic may be fantastic if you're a Barbie girl in the Barbie world. But plastic in ice cream? Not so good. That's why potential contamination with plastic material has prompted Wells Enterprises, also known as Wells Dairy, to voluntarily recall of 22 different types of its ice cream and frozen yogurt products. This recall was initiated on April 25, which by the way was not a Sunday, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration enforcement report. You could call this a 'tub thumping' situation because all the recalled products came in three-gallon tubs, totaling over 17,000 tubs. Here are the products, their universal product codes and their lot numbers: As you can see, lots and lots of ice cream and frozen yogurt are part of the recall. It includes ones that are fat-free but may not be necessarily plastic free. These products have 'Best If Used By' dates that range from March 2026 to October 2026. But for all of these, the 'Best If used By' date should be 'never.' If you do have one of these products, either return it for a refund or discard it. And make sure that you discard in a way that your pets, kids or significant other who behaves like a pet or a kid doesn't still accidentally eat it. This FDA classified this recall as a Class II one, which the FDA considers to be 'a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.' A lot of the things I recently said in Forbes about glass fragments in bread apply to plastic fragments in ice cream as well. Naturally, you don't want to voluntarily eat plastic. There are reasons why people don't typically munch on their plastic spoons after they've used them to eat their ice cream. While swallowing bits of plastic is not the same as swallowing a bunch of steak knives, plastic pieces could potentially do some damage if they are large and sharp enough. Sharp pieces could potentially cut through the lining of your mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, intestines or other parts of your gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to bleeding, damage and infections. Larger plastic fragments could potentially end up obstructing parts of your GI tract. It's not clear from the FDA report how large these plastic fragments are, though. Chances are they aren't the size of a lawn chair. If they are small and dull enough, most likely they will pass rather safely through your GI tract. Within two to three days or possibly more, poop there is, with the plastic fragments that is. Small amounts of plastic probably won't have any toxic effects either. Consistently and regularly eating large amounts of plastic may be a different story, depending on the type and stability of the plastic. But that doesn't look like the situation here. If you suspect that you've ingested any amount of plastic, it can't hurt to contact your doctor to get some guidance. Describe as best you can the size and shape of the plastic. Certainly notify a health professional if you've got symptoms like chest or abdominal discomfort or bloating, fever, blood in the stool or coughing up blood. So ingesting a rocky road ice cream with small plastic fragments won't necessarily mean a rocky road for you. All of this could simply pass, both figuratively and literally.
