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. The recall involves approximately 1,169 units distributed in Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
