Friendly’s ice cream has been recalled in three states over a potentially dangerous labeling error.
Cartons of Vanilla Bean were mistakenly filled with the Cookies and Cream flavor, which contains soy and wheat allergens not listed on the Vanilla Bean containers.
Here’s how to check if your ice cream is part of the recall.
- Product Name: Friendly’s Vanilla Bean ice cream carton with a Friendly’s Cookies & Cream lid
- Size: 48 fl. oz.
- Best-By Date: 11/26/25
- Product Quantity: 324 cartons
The lid has the correct flavor, but the carton is labeled with the incorrect flavor.
Food and Drug Administration
The recalled ice cream was sold at retailers in three states:
- Maryland
- Virginia
- Pennsylvania
Due to the packaging mix-ups, the ice cream cartons do not list two allergens: soy and wheat.
People with a wheat or soy allergy run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the ice cream. If you can consume wheat and soy, the ice cream is otherwise safe to eat.
Check your freezer for the recalled ice cream. All customers are being advised to return the ice cream for a refund—even if you can consume wheat or soy.
