Straus Creamery Ice Cream has been pulled from freezers across 17 US states after the Northern California producer recalled selected organic flavours on Wednesday over fears they may contain metal fragments, according to a notice published by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday.
Straus Family Creamery markets itself as a pioneer of organic dairy, supplying supermarkets and independent shops with premium ice cream and milk from family farms. The latest recall is limited but awkward for a brand that trades heavily on purity and provenance, especially as it follows a string of recent US food safety alerts involving everything from bagged salads to confectionery.
