Plain-English summary

Nestle USA is recalling Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Bars, 3 - 3 FL oz. bars (9 FL oz (266 ml)). The recall involves 82 cases, with 12 x 3 packs per case. The affected product has a best-by date of December 10, 2017, and code 6345 580411B.

The recall was initiated after the firm received two complaints regarding the discovery of a Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Almond Bar inside a Chocolate Dark Chocolate bar package. The source text notes that nuts are visible on the bar. This indicates a mislabeling issue where a product containing almonds was packaged as a product that may not be labeled for that specific allergen configuration.

The product was distributed in Connecticut (CT), Washington, D.C. (DC), Delaware (DE), Maryland (MD), North Carolina (NC), New Jersey (NJ), Pennsylvania (PA), and Virginia (VA). Consumers who have purchased this product should check their freezers for the specific packaging and code information listed above. If found, consumers should stop consuming the product and contact Nestle USA for further instructions or a refund.
