Bubbies Mochi Ice Cream Recalled for Foreign Plastic Pieces

Bubbies Mochi Ice Cream is being recalled due to the potential for free-floating foreign plastic pieces in the product.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 physical hazard (foreign plastic pieces) in a food product. While no injuries are reported in the source text, the potential for choking or injury from free-floating plastic pieces in ice cream fits the criteria for a high-risk product where injury has not yet been reported.
