Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream Inc. Outshine Fruit Bars Black Cherry, 6 Bars, 2.5 ounce recall: Foreign object: products may contain glass pieces

Recall published last month

Foreign object: products may contain glass pieces

The hazard: Foreign material — glass

This is a foreign-material recall — glass where there should be none. An affected pack looks identical to a sound one from the outside.

What the notice says: Foreign object: products may contain glass pieces

Why it matters: Pieces of glass may be inside the product. The risk here is physical rather than microbial: cuts to the mouth or throat, a broken tooth, or an injury further down if a fragment is swallowed.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If someone has swallowed a fragment and has mouth or throat pain, trouble swallowing, chest or stomach pain, vomiting, or blood in saliva or stool, they should be seen the same day. A fragment swallowed without symptoms usually passes on its own, but tell the clinician exactly what the product was: glass is usually visible on an X-ray, and a swallowed shard is one of the cases where imaging is worth doing.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Glass pieces

Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream Inc. — This is a foreign-material recall — glass where there should be none. An affected pack looks identical to a sound one from the outside.

  1. Stop eating it, and do not pick through it to find the fragment — sorting it by hand is how people get cut.
  2. Return it to the store or bin it sealed, and claim the refund using the lot code from the label.
  3. Check the freezer and the pantry for other packs carrying the same codes before you consider the matter closed.
  4. If someone has already bitten into something hard, have them stop, spit out what is in their mouth and rinse rather than swallow.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.
