The US-based Turkey Hill Dairy is voluntarily recalling 1,200 packages of Mint Chocolate Chip All Natural Ice Cream, 48 oz. because it contains undeclared coconut.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to coconut run the risk of serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
The packages of ice cream were distributed in Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lebanon, York, Wilkes Barre-Scranton and Philadelphia areas of Pennsylvania through direct distribution by Turkey Hill to the following stores: Turkey Hill Minit Markets, Cold Cut Hut (Philadelphia, PA), Shady Maple Farm Market (Blue Ball, PA), and John Herr's Village Market (Millersville, PA).
According to a release by the company, Turkey Hill has not received any reports of consumer illness or allergic reaction caused by consuming this product.
The inclusion of coconut as an undeclared allergen in Mint Chocolate Chip All Natural Ice Cream was reported by a consumer who had purchased the product. Turkey Hill confirmed the allergen contamination and issued the recall. Subsequent investigation indicated that the contamination was isolated to the last 32 minutes of the production run of the ice cream.
