If you've been riding out the dog days of summer and intense heat waves by taking solace in frozen treats daily, you're not alone. According to the International Dairy Foods Association, the average American eats approximately 19 pounds of ice cream annually. Trying to convert that math in your head? It's the equivalent to four gallons of ice cream. So basically four of those plastic tubs that are usually so big the packaging requires a handle.
And while, scientifically, ice cream doesn't actually cool our bodies down during these hot summer months, they still offer a refreshing respite from the high outdoor temps. Which is why the last thing anyone wants to hear is that a popular ice cream brand is currently recalling cartons of a specific flavor for a very serious reason.

There's a Blue Bell ice cream recall underway in 16 states because of undeclared almonds, walnuts and pecans on the label of their Moo-llennium Crunch Ice Cream. On brand's website, this flavor is described as a "classic vanilla ice cream with a combination of dark chocolate chunks, creamy caramel chunks, roasted pecans, chopped almonds and walnut pieces." However on the labeling of a limited number of half gallon cartons, the nuts aren't declared.
According to the FDA, half gallons of Moo-llennium Crunch Ice Cream were packaged in a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough half gallon carton with a Moo-llennium Crunch lid, hence the reason why the nuts aren't declared on the packaging. A consumer could easily pick up a package of this treat thinking that it's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, only to discover it's actually Moo-llennium Crunch.
If you think you may have one of the affected packages, look for this code on the top of the half gallon lid: 061027524.
