Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream is recalling thousands of Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars sold in stores across more than 30 states after discovering the treats may contain undeclared wheat, federal regulators said.
The voluntary recall, announced Nov. 3 and posted by the Food and Drug Administration a day later, affects six-count boxes of the dessert with batch code LLA519501 and a “Best By” date of Jan. 31, 2027.
The product was distributed to Kroger and Giant Eagle supermarkets in several states, including California, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, the company said. No other Häagen-Dazs products or batches are impacted.
Dreyer’s said it issued the recall after learning that bars containing wheat were mistakenly repacked into boxes that didn’t list the allergen on the label.
“Those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the company said.
The recall affects Kroger stores in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Giant Eagle locations in Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia also received the product.
Batch codes appear beneath the “Best By 31 JAN 2027” label on the box.
Dreyer’s said no illnesses or injuries have been reported.
“We are recalling this product because it may contain products that contain wheat in packaging that does not reveal the presence of wheat on the label,” the company said in a statement.
“Although our investigation is ongoing, we believe products containing wheat were repacked into the incorrect packaging at the beginning of a production run.”
Dreyer’s added that it is working with the FDA on the recall and will “cooperate with them fully.”
