Rum Raisin Ice Cream Recalled for Undeclared Yellow 5 and Yellow 6

Today's Frozen Desserts has recalled Rum Raisin ice cream distributed in Florida due to undeclared Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 food colorants. Approximately 1,363 units are affected.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for undeclared food additives without reported illnesses or injuries. Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 are FDA-approved colorants that must be declared on labels, but the hazard is primarily a labeling defect affecting consumers with specific sensitivities rather than a high-risk contamination.

Plain-English summary

Today's Frozen Desserts, Inc. has recalled Rum Raisin ice cream due to undeclared Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 food dyes. The ice cream was distributed in Florida in multiple container sizes: 3-gallon, half-gallon, and quart formats. Approximately 1,363 units are involved in the recall.

The undeclared food colorants are a concern for consumers who are sensitive or allergic to Yellow 5 or Yellow 6. While these dyes are FDA-approved food additives, they must be clearly declared on product labels to allow consumers with sensitivities to avoid them if needed.

Affected products display expiration dates between June 13, 2025 and September 13, 2025. Multiple product codes are involved in the recall. Consumers who have purchased affected products should stop consuming them immediately. Anyone with health concerns should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer.
