Oakland, CA - January 24, 2002 -- Edy's Grand Ice Cream is recalling 5,000 cartons of its Limited Edition Girl Scouts Samoas Cookie Ice Cream distributed in Columbus (Ohio), and parts of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and the Florida panhandle, because the ice cream may contain peanuts and egg not identified on the label. The peanuts and egg may be included in the ice cream, not the cookie pieces.
Only individuals who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts or egg may run the risk of serious or potentially life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product. People with a peanut or egg allergy or sensitivity to peanuts or eggs should not consume the ice cream and should immediately dispose of the product.
The potentially affected cartons of Edy's Girl Scouts Samoas Cookie Ice Cream are the 1.75-quart size and have a code date of 48-18-42 09 20 AL. The code date can be found on the bottom of the carton.
No other Edy's ice cream products are affected.
