Ice Cream Allergen Recall

Loard’s Ice Cream has recalled all of its retail-packaged products in Northern California after they were sold without ingredient labels that warn about major allergens. (fda.gov) The recall was announced April 16, 2026, by Silver Moon, LP, which does business as Loard’s Ice Cream in San Leandro, California. The Food and Drug Administration said the affected products were sold in 32-ounce blue paper cups and 56-ounce plastic cups from storefront freezers at Loard’s parlors in Northern California. (fda.gov) The missing labels could hide milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, wheat, sulfites, and added colors, according to the recall notice. The California Department of Public Health said the distribution was limited to Northern California Loard’s Ice Cream parlors. (fda.gov) (cdph.ca.gov) Food labels are the main way people with allergies check whether a product is safe to eat before they buy it. The Food and Drug Administration said people with severe sensitivity to milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, or wheat could face a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the recalled products. (fda.gov) The problem was not a single flavor with a typo on one carton. The recall covers all products sold in retail-sized packaging because the containers were distributed without ingredient labeling, the company said. (fda.gov) The Food and Drug Administration’s product list shows the breadth of the pull, from Almond Joy and Brownie Nut Fudge to sherbet and fruit flavors. Some products carried undeclared colors, some undeclared sulfites, and some both, on top of allergens such as milk, soy, wheat, eggs, peanuts, or tree nuts. (fda.gov) California’s recall sheet identifies the recalling firm as Silver Moon, LP dba Loard’s Ice Cream and lists the reason as undeclared sulfites, food coloring, and allergens. It says the products were sold in various 32-ounce and 56-ounce containers, with the detailed flavor list posted separately. (cdph.ca.gov) For shoppers, the practical line is simple: retail cups of Loard’s ice cream from Northern California parlor freezers are part of the recall unless they can be matched to updated labeling from the company or regulators. The recall notice turns a missing sticker into a food-safety risk. (fda.gov)
