A labeling error has triggered a nationwide recall of Breyers Rocky Road Ice Cream.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a nationwide recall for a batch of Breyers ice cream due to a serious labeling error that could put people with nut allergies at risk.
The recall involves Breyers Rocky Road Ice Cream sold in 1.5-quart cartons — but packaged in tubs labeled for a different flavor.
The affected cartons are labeled as Breyers Chocolate Truffle on the tub, while the lid correctly identifies the contents as Rocky Road.
This mismatch has led to an undeclared allergen issue because Rocky Road contains almonds, which are not listed on the mislabeled tub’s packaging.
Here’s What to Look For
Consumers should check their freezers for the following details:
- Product: Breyers Rocky Road Ice Cream (inside Breyers Chocolate Truffle Tub)
- Size: 1.5-quart carton
- UPC: 077567457288
- Best-by Date: July 10, 2026
If you find a carton matching these details, the FDA advises either throwing it away or returning it to the store for a refund.
Potential Danger
Because almonds are not declared on the mislabeled packaging, anyone with nut allergies could unknowingly consume the product.
This could trigger serious allergic reactions, including:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Hives
- Trouble breathing
- Anaphylaxis (a life-threatening reaction)
Anyone experiencing severe symptoms after eating the recalled ice cream should seek emergency medical attention immediately by calling 911.
The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, which means the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems for some individuals.
