Breyers Urgently Recalls Thousands of Ice Cream Tubs—Is Your Favorite Flavor Affected?

Check your freezer ASAP. Unilever Manufacturing, Inc., has issued a recall of a popular Breyers ice cream flavor due to a packaging error resulting in an undeclared allergen, according to a report by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

Breyers' Rocky Road ice cream—a chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and chocolate-covered almond pieces—was mistakenly packaged in a "Chocolate Truffle" tub with a "Rocky Road" lid, triggering the recall. The FDA has classified the recall, involving 6,668 cases, as Class II, indicating that the affected product "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences."

The recalled ice cream was packaged in 1.5-quart cartons with a best-by date of July 10, 2026, UPC 077567457288, and lot code JUL1026GB3. The product was sold at retail locations across the U.S. The tub says the product "may contain tree nuts," while the lid says it contains almonds. Because of the carton mix-up, Breyers issued the recall.

The FDA requires that allergens, specifically nuts, be listed on the packaging. A tree nut allergy can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, including skin reactions like hives and itching, digestive issues like nausea and vomiting, and respiratory symptoms like wheezing and difficulty breathing, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. In severe cases, it can trigger anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention.

Don't eat the recalled ice cream if you have nut allergies or sensitivities. Throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. The ice cream is safe to consume for those who do not have nut allergies or sensitivities.
