Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. voluntarily recalled a limited number of select Outshine Fruit Bars on Aug. 18, 2026 after consumer reports raised concern that the products may contain glass. The recall reaches only specific fruit bars and a variety pack, but it applies to products that were shipped to retailers nationwide.
The affected items are Outshine Strawberry, Watermelon, Grape, Tangerine and Black Cherry 6-Count 2.5 ounce Fruit Bars, along with the Outshine 24-Count 2.5 ounce Variety Pack Fruit Bars. Dreyer's said no illnesses or injuries had been reported to date, but it acted out of an abundance of caution after reports of glass found in the product. For shoppers searching whether their box is included, the key is the batch code and date printed on the package: LLA617603 with a best before date of 30 SEP 2027, and LLA620303 with a best before date of 31 OCT 2027.
The company said no other Outshine products or varieties are affected, which narrows the recall to a limited slice of the freezer case. That kind of scope matters because recalls in ice cream and frozen novelties can move quickly through stores and home freezers, and consumers often need to check the box before they throw anything away. Similar recalls have prompted wide consumer checks in other food categories as well, from a metal contamination alert tied to organic ice cream to product damage from a crash involving Subway and Kremee Taiyaki & Ice Cream.
Dreyer's said consumers who bought an affected product should dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions can be sent to [email protected], or by calling 800-392-4885 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST. For now, the recall hinges on a narrow list of products and codes, and anyone with one of those boxes should treat it as a do-not-eat item.
