Key Points Dreyer’s is recalling Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars due to an undeclared wheat allergen. Only 6-count boxes with batch code LLA519501 and a "best by" Jan. 31, 2027, are affected. No illnesses have been reported so far. Every aisle of the grocery store is subject to a potential recall for any number of reasons—mislabeling, cross-contamination, hazardous foreign objects (looking at you, Ben’s Original Rice)—the list goes on. However, when recalls occur, it simply means that the processes in place to protect consumers are working, and usually before any illnesses or incidents arise. But when a recall hits the ice cream case, it feels personal. Ice cream, the very treat that cools us down in the summer and comforts us the rest of the year, should never betray us with a recall. And yet, such is life. A recall is underway for a specific brand-name ice cream treat due to the potential presence of an undisclosed allergen. 🍳 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & fun food news in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter 🍳 Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream is recalling some Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars because they might contain wheat that isn’t listed on the label. This could be dangerous for anyone with a wheat allergy or sensitivity, as it may cause a severe allergic reaction. According to FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education), approximately 2.4 million people in the U.S. have a wheat allergy. The recall only affects the six-count boxes with batch code LLA519501 and a best-by date of Jan. 31, 2027. If you have this product at home and are allergic to wheat, it’s best to discard it or return it. Where Were the Recalled Ice Cream Bars Sold? The recalled six-count packages of Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars were shipped to two retailers: Kroger and Giant Eagle. Stores in the following states may have received the batch in question. Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Georgia Idaho Illinois Indiana Kansas Kentucky Maryland Michigan Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Mexico Ohio Pennsylvania Oregon South Carolina Tennessee Utah Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming
