Straus Family Creamery has issued a voluntary recall on some of its ice cream after saying a small number of production runs may contain metal fragments. The recall covers select flavors and sizes of its Organic Super Premium Ice Cream, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration posting the notice on its website the following day.
The affected product was available on store shelves starting May 4, 2026, and was distributed to retailers in 17 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. No other Straus Family Creamery ice cream products are included in the recall.
The company said it has informed the FDA and is working with retailers to remove the potentially affected pints and quarts from shelves. Straus Family Creamery said there have been no injuries reported in connection with the recall. It urged consumers who may have bought the ice cream to throw it away and not eat it, and said they should not return recalled products to the place of purchase.
Instead, the company is offering a voucher to impacted customers who complete an online form and redeem it for a replacement product. Consumers with questions or support needs were told to contact Straus Family Creamery at [email protected] or 707-776-2887, Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT.
The recall matters because it reaches a wide retail footprint but is limited to a small number of production runs, which leaves most of the brand’s ice cream outside the safety notice. For shoppers who bought the affected flavors in the affected states after May 4, the simplest step is also the one the company is asking for: do not eat it, discard it, and seek the voucher instead.
