• Why: The company is initiating the recall due to undeclared allergens, specifically wheat and soy.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream is recalling some of its Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars due to the presence of undeclared wheat and soy. This Jeni’s ice cream recall affects a single batch of the product distributed nationwide.

The recall was announced Nov.17; the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published the recall notice the following day. The affected product is identified by the batch code 25-210, which is printed on the top of the carton.

“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy and/or wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these ice cream bars,” the notice says.
