Straus Family Creamery Voluntarily Recalls Select Flavors of Organic Ice Cream Due to Potential Presence of Foreign Material
Straus Family Creamery initiated a voluntary recall of specific production runs of select flavors and sizes of Organic Ice Cream due to the potential presence of metal foreign material. The affected units are identified by 'best by' dates on the packaging.
