Silver Moon LP dba Loard's Ice Cream — Class II: Banana Ice Cream - 32 oz (4 labels: Mollie Stone's; Dehoff's; Farmer Joe's, Piazza's Fine
Silver Moon LP, doing business as Loard's Ice Cream, has initiated a Class II recall for 32 oz containers of Banana Ice Cream due to undeclared Yellow #5. The recall involves specific UPC 8-12017-00903 distributed under four different retail labels.
This recall affects dairy manufacturers, food labeling specialists, and retailers (Mollie Stone's, Dehoff's, Farmer Joe's, and Piazza's Fine Foods) involved in the distribution of private-label frozen desserts.
The inclusion of an undeclared color additive like Yellow #5 represents a labeling non-compliance that can trigger adverse reactions in sensitive individuals. The classification as Class II suggests the risk is not immediate or life-threatening but warrants removal from the market to maintain regulatory adherence and consumer safety. This case highlights the complexity of labeling accuracy when one facility produces for multiple brands.
QA teams should verify that all color additives used in finished formulations match current labeling and UPC records. Compliance officers should monitor for potential cross-labeling errors when a single product is distributed under multiple private labels.
Class II. Reason: Undeclared Yellow #5. Product: Banana Ice Cream - 32 oz (4 labels: Mollie Stone's; Dehoff's; Farmer Joe's, Piazza's Fine Foods) UPC: 8-12017-00903. Firm: Silver Moon LP dba Loard's Ice Cream (San Leandro CA United States). Status: Ongoing.
