The product comes in an oval 1.75 quart paper carton marked with plant code of 12-356 and an expiration date of JUN 25 08 on a white strip on the side of the carton. The cartons indicate that the product inside is chocolate ice cream while the lid may state that the product is chocolate almond.
The recalled "Prestige Chocolate Ice Cream" was only distributed to Winn-Dixie and Save-Rite stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
The company has not received any reports from customers in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the almond-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of almonds.
Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by chocolate ice cream cartons getting on the line while chocolate almond was being produced. The Food and Drug Administration has been informed and there is complete cooperation with them in conducting this recall.
Consumers who have purchased 1.75 quart (1.65 liters) cartons of Prestige Chocolate Ice Cream with JUN 25 08 code date are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The cartons indicate that the product inside is chocolate ice cream while the lid may state that the product is chocolate almond.
Consumers with questions or any doubt at all about product in their possession are encouraged to contact the company at 1-866-WINN-DIXIE or return the product to their store for a refund or exchange.
