Wells Enterprises is recalling 17 3-gallon tubs of Artificially Flavored French Vanilla Ice Cream distributed by Sysco Corporation because plastic material may be present in the product.

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: The source states this is an FDA Class II recall. The hazard (plastic foreign material) is a physical contaminant but no illness or injury has been reported in the source text. Class II with no reported illness or injury falls into the Moderate severity range.
