Outshine Fruit Bars Recall for Potential Glass Contamination (FDA Alert)
Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. has issued a nationwide voluntary recall of specific Outshine Fruit Bars after a small number of consumers reported finding glass fragments inside the product. Shoppers should verify the UPC and lot codes below and stop eating any affected bars immediately.
Reason for the Outshine Fruit Bars Glass Recall
Multiple consumer complaints flagged the possible presence of glass pieces in certain boxes. While no injuries have been confirmed, swallowing glass can cause mouth, throat, or internal damage. Dreyer’s initiated the recall “out of an abundance of caution” in cooperation with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

Only the 2.5-oz six-count boxes and one 24-count variety pack are subject to this recall. No other Outshine bars, yogurts, or sizes are impacted.
