An allergic reaction causes a kosher frozen dessert recall in Florida and 6 other states

Yummy Foods recalled its entire line of Yummy Swirly Ice desserts because they might have “traces of milk,” which the desserts aren’t supposed to have.

“The recall was initiated after an allergen sensitive consumer complained about feelings of discomfort after consuming the Swirly Ices,” Yummy Foods’ FDA-posted recall notice stated. “The reason for the cross contamination is still under investigation.”

The Swirly Ices — Fruity Melon, Churning Cherry, Berry Blast, Tropical Tornado — were sold separately and as part of a variety pack in independent kosher supermarkets in Florida, California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio and the city of Chicago. All lot numbers are being recalled.
