Loard's banana ice cream recalled for undeclared Yellow #5 dye

What this means

Loard's Ice Cream banana ice cream (32 oz) contains Yellow #5 dye that is not listed on the label. This product was sold under multiple store brands—Mollie Stone's, Dehoff's, Farmer Joe's, and Piazza's Fine Foods—at grocery stores in Northern California. Yellow #5 must be declared on labels because some people are sensitive to it.

  • Check your freezer for the affected banana ice cream (UPC 8-12017-00903).
  • Do not consume the product if anyone in your household has a sensitivity or allergy to Yellow #5.
  • Return the product to the store where you purchased it for a refund or replacement.
