10110.38D, DOD Hazardous Food & Nonprescription Drug Recall System, 6 September 2018.
BACKGROUND: 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. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-
threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
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. Chocolate Peanut Butter product was packaged in
non-dairy chocolate peanut butter packaging. The Chocolate Peanut Butter produced for
Enlightened by Cedar Crest Ice Cream contains dairy. 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.
