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 allergen mislabeling on common allergens (wheat and soy), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Nelson's Creamery, LLC. is recalling specific varieties of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. The affected products include Nelson's Dutch Farms in half-gallon and one-pint sizes, Merrymead Farm Market Premium Ice Cream in half-gallon size, and Heritage's Old Fashioned Premium Ice Cream in half-gallon and one-pint sizes.
