The CFIA says a frozen dessert sold across Canada may contain plastic-like and gravel-like fragments and urges people not to use the affected product.
The Story
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for a frozen dessert sold under the So Delicious Dairy Free brand, warning that the product may contain “plastic-like and gravel-like fragments.”
The CFIA notice identifies the affected item as So Delicious Dairy Free brand Salted Caramel Non-dairy Frozen Dessert, Cashew Base (500 mL).
According to the recall, the hazard of concern is the presence of “plastic-like and gravel-like fragments.” The CFIA notice does not indicate whether the product has been linked to any reports of injury or incidents.
The recall is classified as a Class II recall, which the CFIA describes as involving a moderate risk that consuming the food could lead to short-term or non-life-threatening health problems.
In the notice, consumers are instructed not to use, sell, serve or distribute the recalled dessert.
The CFIA provided specific product identification details for affected units, including UPC 7 44473 27613 4.
The notice also lists a series of best-before codes tied to different batches, including BB: 8 SEP 2027; BB: 15 OCT 2027; BB: 16 OCT 2027; BB: 3 FEB 2028; BB: 25 FEB 2028; BB: 30 MAR 2028; and BB: 31 MAR 2028.
For Canadians trying to determine whether they have an affected product, the CFIA information includes both the size and UPC number as well as the best-before codes, which are typically found on the package.
People who may have purchased the recalled dessert are expected to follow the CFIA’s direction to stop distributing or using it, given the risk identified in the recall notice.
The CFIA recall also highlights the broader importance of checking recall listings for food products that may be widely available, since the affected item is described as being sold across the country.
