Target Recalls Breyers Ice Cream Due to Temperature Control Issues

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

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (potential pathogen contamination) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Target Corporation is recalling 2,652 retail units of Breyers 1.5-quart Vanilla/Chocolate/Strawberry ice cream. The affected product was sold at Target store T2780 in Honolulu, Hawaii, between March 23 and March 27, 2018. The recall is limited to this specific store and time period.

Consumers who purchased this specific product at the identified Target store during the specified dates should stop using it and return it to the store for a refund. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
