Urgent consumer alert: Publix has voluntarily recalled a single lot of its Rich & Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream because the cartons may contain French Vanilla ice cream with undeclared egg. Check your freezer and follow the refund instructions below.

Why Publix Issued the Vanilla Ice Cream Recall

The product’s lid—labeled “French Vanilla”—does not match the carton, which is labeled “Rich & Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream.” Because eggs are not listed on the Vanilla Ice Cream ingredient panel, anyone with an egg allergy could suffer a serious or life-threatening reaction.
