Plain-English summary

The product is packaged in 2.5 gallon or 1.5 gallon plastic tubs or cardboard quart containers, though the firm is unable to determine how specific batches were packaged. The recall involves 42 batches of the product.

Some containers may have a production date handwritten on a white label, and some quart containers are stamped on the bottom with the Julian date.
