Target Recalls Halo Top Rainbow Swirl Ice Cream Due to Temperature Issues

Target is recalling Halo Top Rainbow Swirl ice cream sold in Hawaii because a shipping container was not held at the proper temperature, potentially allowing contamination.

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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical (potential contamination due to temperature), which aligns with the 'Moderate' criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls without reported harm.
