On June 22, 2023, Häagen-Dazs announced a voluntary recall of select vanilla ice cream pints and bars due to the potential presence of ethylene oxide (EtO), a chemical used as a pesticide. The recall affects approximately 1.5 million cartons of ice cream sold in the United States.
The following Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream products are included in the recall:
Product | Size | UPC Code |
---|---|---|
Vanilla Ice Cream Pint | 14 oz | 000-000000-00000 |
Vanilla Ice Cream Bar | 3 oz | 000-000000-00000 |
Vanilla Ice Cream Cup | 8 oz | 000-000000-00000 |

Ethylene oxide is a colorless, flammable gas that is commonly used as a pesticide in the food industry. It is effective against a wide range of pests, including rodents, insects, and bacteria.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), EtO has been classified as a probable human carcinogen. Inhalation of EtO gas can cause respiratory irritation, while skin contact can lead to burns and blisters. Ingestion of EtO can result in nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
If you have purchased any of the affected Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream products, you should return them to the store where you bought them for a full refund. Do not consume these products.
Häagen-Dazs has issued a statement apologizing for the recall and assuring consumers that they are working closely with the FDA to ensure the safety of their products. The company has also suspended production of all vanilla ice cream products and is conducting a thorough investigation into the source of the contamination.
Food safety is a top priority for consumers. The recall of Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream products is a reminder of the importance of food safety regulations and the vigilance of food manufacturers.
By recalling the affected products, Häagen-Dazs is protecting the health of consumers and demonstrating their commitment to food safety. The recall helps to ensure that consumers can enjoy Häagen-Dazs products with confidence.
