The recall affects 6-count packages of Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars with batch code LLA519501 and a “best by” date of Jan. 31, 2027, according to a Monday announcement from the company.

Dreyer’s said the issue likely occurred when products containing wheat were mistakenly “repacked into the incorrect packaging at the beginning of a production run.”
No illnesses or injuries have so far been reported in connection with the recall.
Consumers with wheat allergies or sensitivities are urged not to eat the ice cream bars and to dispose of them or return them to the store for a full refund.
