Target Recalls Magnum Tub Milk Chocolate Vanilla Ice Cream in Hawaii

Target is recalling 2,652 units of Magnum Tub Milk Chocolate Vanilla ice cream in Hawaii due to improper temperature control during shipping, which may have allowed contamination.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is described as a potential for contamination due to temperature abuse rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen outbreak.

Plain-English summary

Target Corporation is recalling 2,652 retail units of Magnum Tub Milk Chocolate Vanilla 14.8oz ice cream (UPC: 775670010238, Target item number: 288-7-2739). The recall affects products purchased at Target store T2780 in Honolulu, Hawaii, between March 23 and March 27, 2018.

The recall was initiated because the shipping container transporting the product from California to Hawaii was not held at the proper temperature. This temperature failure could have caused the food items to be contaminated with spoilage organisms or pathogens.

Consumers who purchased this specific product at the identified store during the stated dates should stop using it and return it to the store for a refund.
