Consumers have been urged to check if they have stocked up on Casper’s Red Button Canadian Vanilla, as a mandatory recall has been issued for the ice cream. This comes after an undeclared allergen was found in the product. On May 25, several tubs of the 56- ounce Red Button Vintage Creamery Canadian Vanilla Ice Cream were recalled.

Casper’s Red Button Canadian Vanilla is not the only ice-sweet treat that has been removed from shelves. HP Hood found that their Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl was packaged in a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough box.

The FDA recommends that customers allergic to tree nuts like pecans, hazelnuts, cashews, pine nuts, etc., should discard the withdrawn products to avoid severe reactions.
