Beyond Better Foods, LLC Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Milk in Mislabeled Chocolate Peanut Butter Pints

June 24, 2020 from the FDA:

Beyond Better Foods, LLC, is recalling select pints from a single production run of Enlightened brand Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream pints because they may have been packaged in Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter containers and thus contain undeclared milk ingredients.

The affected product was distributed nationwide in grocery stores. Beyond Better Foods is taking immediate steps to recall all affected products.

This recall is the result of mislabeled product. Specifically, one lot of Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream was mistakenly filled in pint sized Enlightened brand Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter pint containers. These packages have a base container labeled “Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter” and a lid labeled “Chocolate Peanut Butter” without a “Dairy-Free” callout. All affected products have a “best by” date of November 5, 2021 which is printed on the bottom of the container.

Customers who have purchased mislabeled Chocolate Peanut Butter pints with a “best by” date of 11/05/21 are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions may be directed to 1-800-819-2998 Monday-Friday between 9AM and 5PM Eastern Time or to recallhotline@beyondbetterfoods.com.

Ed. note: The product is labeled OU-D.

    Insect Infestation Information - Corn on the Cob

    June 16, 2020 from the cRc:

    In preparation for the summer season we have been checking the infestation levels of fresh corn on the cob, and have been finding a very high amount of insects in the husks. However, once the husks are removed and the raw corn is washed, there are almost no insects left. (Part of our experiment has been to carefully remove the kernels from the cob to see if there are any insects underneath or between the kernels that the rinse did not remove.) We therefore recommend thoroughly washing each cob before cooking or grilling it. One should not grill the corn in its husk.
