Zarlengo's gelato recalled for undeclared soy

Zarlengo Italian Ice is recalling three Zarlengo's gelato products: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Gelato, Chocolate Gelato, and Double Dark Chocolate Gelato. They come in sizes from 6 fl oz cups to 2-gallon buckets and were distributed in Illinois, Indiana, and Texas. The ingredients list includes soy lecithin, but soy is not listed in the allergen statement, so the products could be unsafe for people with a soy allergy.

The agency lists each product separately. Check every one you might have.
