Undeclared pecans in Mayfield Vanilla Classic Ice Cream

Friday, February 22, 2008

Agricultural Commissioner Tommy Irvin is alerting Georgia residents to the recall of some Mayfield Vanilla Classic Ice Cream cartons.

The recall was initiated because the ice cream contains pecans, which are not listed on the label and may cause health problems in those who are allergic to the nuts. This recall includes only 250 units of the half-gallon rectangular paper cartons of Mayfield Vanilla Classic Ice Cream with a code date of 01/30/09 and plant code of 47225. Consumers should look for this information on the end of the carton. The UPC number is 75243 20144.

The affected product was distributed in parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. Georgia Department of Agriculture sanitarians will be checking all stores to make sure the cartons are removed from sale.
   
Consumers may return the ice cream to the place of purchase for a full refund or exchange. Consumers with questions can contact the company at 1-800-MAYFIELD (1-800-629-3435).
