Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream Recalled Due to Undeclared Allergen

On Nov. 18, the FDA announced that Columbus, Ohio-based Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has issued a voluntary recall of one batch of its Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars. The bars may contain undeclared wheat and soy, which can cause serious and even life-threatening reactions in those with allergies and sensitivities. The recall only affects cartons with the batch code 25-210, which were sold nationwide in grocery stores. No illnesses have been reported to date.

The issue arose when a crunch topping from another product was accidentally mixed into this batch during manufacturing. Consumers who purchased the affected ice cream bars are advised to return them to the store for a full refund. For questions, Jeni’s can be reached at 614-488-3224 (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET) or by email at contact@jenis.com.

ByHeart Expands Recall of Infant Formula While Investigation Continues

On Nov. 8, the FDA announced that ByHeart was voluntarily recalling its ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. The formula was recalled out of an abundance of caution following an investigation by the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into a multistate outbreak of infant botulism.

As of Nov. 11, it has expanded its recall to include all batches of ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and Anywhere Pack sold nationwide. This update follows concerns about potential contamination with Clostridium botulinum—though no unopened product has tested positive for the bacteria or its toxin. The company emphasized that this action reflects its commitment to infant safety and transparency while the FDA continues investigating a broader outbreak, with 84 cases of infant botulism reported since August.

ByHeart is proactively recalling all products, allowing full regulatory access to its facilities, and testing every batch through an independent lab, with plans to share results publicly. Consumers should immediately discontinue use and dispose of all ByHeart formula products. Symptoms of infant botulism can include constipation, weak cry, poor feeding, low muscle tone, and breathing difficulties—any of which warrant immediate medical attention. For questions or reports, consumers can contact ByHeart at 1-833-429-4327 (available 24/7) or [email protected], or report directly to the FDA’s MedWatch program.

Costco Deli Products Recalled for Potential Contaminant

Costco, in partnership with supplier Ventura Foods, has announced the recall of two deli products—Costco’s Caesar Salad (item 19927) and Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad (item 11444)—due to the potential presence of plastic fragments in the salad dressing packets. The recall was issued on Nov. 7, and while the affected items are no longer on shelves, consumers may still have contaminated dressing packets in their homes. The recalled products have “best by” dates between Oct. 17 and Nov. 9.

Customers are urged not to consume the dressing, as ingesting plastic could cause internal injury. Instead, any affected products should be returned to Costco for a full refund. For additional questions or assistance, consumers can contact Costco’s customer service.

Costco Kirkland Signature Prosecco Recalled Due to Shattering Risk

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Costco recalled more than 941,000 bottles of Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene due to a laceration hazard from bottles that may spontaneously shatter, even when unopened or not in use. The affected sparkling wine, labeled “Kirkland Signature Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG,” was sold in green bottles with purple labels and foil tops at Costco locations across 12 Midwestern states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The recall applies to bottles with UPC 196633883742 and item number 1879870, sold between April 25 and Aug. 26, 2025.

Customers should not attempt to return the bottles to Costco. Instead, they should safely dispose of them by wrapping them in paper towels, placing them in a plastic bag, and throwing them in the trash to prevent injury from broken glass. Refunds can be claimed by bringing Costco’s recall notice letter to the store. To date, there have been 10 reports of bottles breaking, with one resulting in a laceration injury. For questions, consumers can contact the supplier, Ethica Wines, at [email protected] or 786-810-7132.

Jarred Tomato Sauce Recalled Due to Potential Botulism Risk

The FDA announced a recall of three tomato sauces sold at Big Y stores on Nov. 3 due to the potential presence of Clostridium botulinum toxin, which can cause botulism, a rare but serious foodborne illness. The recalled sauces were produced by First and Last Bakery, LLC, and include three varieties: Original Marinara Sauce (Tomato & Basil), Traditional Pasta Sauce (Meat Flavored), and Puttanesca Sauce (Mildly Hot & Spicy). They were sold in 26-ounce jars at Big Y locations in Connecticut and Massachusetts beginning Sept. 22, 2025. Each jar carries a “Use By” date of September 2026.

The recall was issued because the products were not manufactured under an approved process, meaning their canning method may not have prevented the growth of the toxin. First and Last has stopped manufacturing and selling the recalled tomato sauces, but they may still be in customers’ pantries. If you have any of the recalled products, do not consume them. Instead, discard them or return them to Big Y for a full refund. Anyone experiencing symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, blurred vision, or difficulty speaking or swallowing should seek immediate medical attention. For additional information, contact First and Last Bakery at 860-956-5000.

Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream Bars Recalled for Life-Threatening Allergen

Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. issued a recall of select Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars due on Nov. 3 to a labeling error that omitted the presence of wheat, a major allergen. The affected 6-count boxes have the batch code “LLA519501” with a “best by” date of Jan. 31, 2027, and were sold at Kroger and Giant Eagle stores across multiple U.S. states. The recall was issued after it was discovered that wheat-containing bars were mistakenly packaged in boxes without proper allergen warnings, posing a risk of serious and even life-threatening allergic reaction in those with wheat allergies or sensitivities.

No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported so far. Consumers with a wheat allergy should not eat the affected ice cream bars, and should instead discard them or return them to the store for a full refund. Those without wheat sensitivities may safely consume the product, but are still eligible for a refund or replacement if desired.
