The brand is also recalling its half-pint, pint, and quart containers of key lime pie ice cream. The affected ice cream comes in plastic containers bearing a Picket Fence Creamery label, UPC number 094922414847, and best if used by dates of March 31, 2022 or earlier. The Picket Fence Products, which were distributed in Iowa and sold through retail stores, were pulled from the market after it was discovered that they may contain wheat that’s not disclosed on either product’s ingredients list. Wheat is one of the Big 8, a group of the eight most common food allergens, and must be clearly labeled on any packaged food products subject to FDA regulation, as per the Food Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004. “People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the recall notice states. No illnesses or adverse effects related to consumption of either product had been reported at the time the recall was announced. If you purchased either the recalled taco cheese curds or key lime pie ice cream and have a wheat allergy or sensitivity, do not consume them. If you have questions about the recall or would like to request a refund, contact Jill at Picket Fence Creamery at 515-438-2697 between 8 a.m. at 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
