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.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration shared the recall announcement on its website the following day.
“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 recall impacts certain pint and quart sized containers of Straus Family Creamery Organic Super Premium Ice Cream in several flavors, according to the company.
- Ice Cream Vanilla Bean (pint containers) with “best by” dates Dec. 23 and Dec. 28, 2026
- Ice Cream Strawberry (quart and pint containers) with “best by” dates Dec. 24 and Dec. 25, 2026, respectively
- Ice Cream Cookie Dough (pint containers) with “best by” date Dec. 26, 2026
- Ice Cream Dutch Chocolate (quart containers) with “best by” date Dec. 27, 2026
- Ice Cream Mint Chip (pint 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, according to Straus Family Creamery.
Impacted products were available on store shelves starting May 4, 2026, the company said.
