Frozen Treat Recall: Glass Contamination Alert
18 Aug
Summary
- Dreyer's voluntarily recalls Outshine fruit bars due to glass contamination.
- Five specific flavors of 6-count paddle bars are affected by the recall.
- No injuries have been reported in connection with the contaminated bars.
Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream initiated a voluntary recall on August 16, 2026, for several Outshine Fruit Bar flavors. This action stems from a potential contamination with glass fragments, a serious food-safety hazard. The recall specifically targets Strawberry, Watermelon, Grape, Tangerine, and Black Cherry 6-Count 2.5-ounce paddle bars.
Products with best-before dates between June 30, 2027, and November 30, 2027, are included in this recall. These affected lots were distributed across the United States. The company emphasizes that this recall is limited, and no other Outshine products or varieties are involved.
As of the announcement date, there have been no reported illnesses or injuries linked to the recalled fruit bars. Consumers possessing the affected products are advised not to consume them. They should either discard the bars or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
Retailers are instructed to remove the recalled lots from shelves. This incident highlights the importance of traceable batch coding on packaged foods, as contamination in specific batches can lead to a nationwide response once products reach consumers.
