Plain-English summary

The recall involves 13 batches of the ice cream, which may be packaged in 2.5-gallon or 1.5-gallon plastic tubs or cardboard quart containers.

All affected product was distributed locally in the Port Townsend, Washington area. Some containers may feature a handwritten production date on a white label, while some quart containers are stamped with a Julian date on the bottom.
