Jeni’s Ice Cream Recall 2025: Nationwide Allergen Alert
On November 17, 2025, in Columbus, Ohio, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams triggered a voluntary nationwide recall of its Passion Fruit Dreamsicle Ice Cream Bars after discovering undeclared wheat and soy allergens in a single batch, stemming from a manufacturing mishap that introduced a rogue crunch topping. This premium treat, beloved for its tropical twist on the classic dreamsicle, hit shelves at major retailers like Whole Foods, Target, and Publix, potentially endangering consumers with allergies amid a surge in food safety scrutiny. No illnesses have surfaced yet, but the incident spotlights vulnerabilities in high-end dessert production, where artisanal flair meets industrial scale. As families stock holiday freezers, this recall underscores the razor-thin margin between indulgence and risk in America's $10 billion ice cream market.
