LAKELAND, FL — Publix has initiated a voluntary recall of ice cream sold in stores in several states because the product may contain an undeclared egg allergen, the company announced Tuesday.
The recall affects one lot of Publix Rich & Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream (UPC 41415 03043). The half-gallon container has a sell-by date of “June 19, 2026 A” and may contain Publix Rich & Creamy French Vanilla Ice Cream with a mismatched French Vanilla container lid.
The product was distributed to stores located in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida, except for stores in Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Tampa and Sarasota.
Publix locations in Virginia and North Carolina are not impacted by the recall.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product.
“As part of our commitment to food safety, potentially impacted product has been removed from all store shelves,” said Publix Director of Communications Maria Brous. “To date, there have been no reported cases of illness.”
Consumers who have purchased the product in question may return it to their local store for a full refund. Publix customers with additional questions may call the customer care department toll-free at 800-242-1227 or visit the company’s website at publix.com.
