US: Mars recalls ice cream

By: just-food.com | 27 October 2009

Mars has issued a voluntary recall of its Dove Caramel Pecan Perfection ice cream in the US because it may contain undeclared peanuts.

No related illnesses have been reported to date and the product is safe for consumption by consumers who do not have a peanut allergy or sensitivity, the company emphasised.

This voluntary recall is limited to a specific lot number - 931AB5YN07 - and was distributed only in the US.

"Mars Snackfood US was able to quickly confirm that only this lot is affected and, out of an abundance of caution, issued a voluntary recall for potentially affected containers of the ice cream," Mars said in a statement.
