11,000 boxes of ice cream are remembered because they may contain pieces of metal

According to the FDA, more than 11,000 containers of Weis Markets ice cream products that may be contaminated with pieces of metal equipment have been removed.
“Products may be contaminated with foreign materials, specifically pieces of metal-filling material,” the company said in a press release, adding that there is concern that foreign material could be a choking hazard.

The recall covers 10,869 units of 48-ounce containers of Weis-quality cookies and ice cream and 502 bulk containers of 3 gallons of Klein’s vanilla milk ice cream.

There is a report from a customer who found an “intact metal piece of equipment” in a 48-ounce carton of cookies and cream, the company said.

The 48-ounce containers were sold at Weis Markets ’197 grocery stores, located in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Delaware and West Virginia. They have now been withdrawn from sale, the company said.

The product has a sales deadline of October 21, 2020, located at the bottom of the container. Customers who have purchased the product can return it for a full refund.

Klein 3-gallon bulk vanilla ice cream was not for retail sale. It was sold to a New York retail store and has been withdrawn, the company said.

According to the company, additional ice cream products were stored that were packaged on the same day that the withdrawn items were removed from a warehouse and not distributed.

Customers looking for additional information can contact Weis Customer Service, the company said.
