According to the Mayo Clinic, a child or adult with an allergy is likely to develop symptoms within minutes to hours after eating something containing wheat. Symptoms include swelling, itching, or irritation of the mouth or throat; hives, itchy rash, or swelling of the skin; nasal congestion; headache; trouble breathing; cramps, nausea, or vomiting; diarrhea; and in severe cases, anaphylaxis.

In the FDA notice, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream states that there may have been an error at the beginning of a production run, resulting in products containing wheat being used in the ice cream bars. The presence of wheat is not listed on the labels.

If you or anyone in your household has a wheat allergy or sensitivity, do not consume the ice cream. Instead, throw the bars away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
