137,000 Cases of a Popular Frozen Treat Were Just Recalled Nationwide

A reminder for caregivers to be hyper-cautious of foods given to kiddos who may have allergies: Today, Popsicle has announced a recall of single-serving ice pops due to the presence of a major food allergen that wasn’t listed on the label.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the recall of 137,000 cases of Popsicle Jolly Rancher Frozen Confection Pops sold between February 1 and August 15 of this year “because the products may contain milk, which is not listed as an ingredient on the label,” the FDA reports. “Persons who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.”

It’s said there have been two reported allergic reactions in connection with consumption of the product.

The announcement stresses that this applies only to Jolly Rancher Popsicle products that were sold as “single serve offerings”—specifically, “These products are typically sold through channels such as ice cream trucks, concession stands, and grab-and-go freezers throughout the United States,” the FDA states. The recall doesn’t apply to 18-counts of Jolly Rancher Popsicles sold at grocers or other retailers.

According to the FDA recall announcement, it appears this applies only to one Popsicle Jolly Rancher flavor. The details:

Popsicle Jolly Rancher Green Apple Blue Raspberry Grape Frozen Confection Pop, 2.71 fl oz serving
