Helados Mexico, La Michoacana Recall Ice Cream Bars

Hot Idaho days call for cool sweet treats! Thousands of Idaho families keep a stash of frozen treats like ice cream, popsicles and ice cream sandwiches in the freezer to enjoy after a swim. Does that sound like YOUR freezer?

If it does, you’ll want to check to see if you have any of these recently recalled ice cream bars in there! 14 flavors from two popular ice cream brands have been recalled due to an undeclared allergen.

According to a recent notice on the FDA’s website, Tropicale Foods, which makes La Michoacana and Helados Mexico ice cream products, issued the recall due to undeclared milk in the treats. If someone in your family has a milk allergy or severe sensitivity, dispose of these products to avoid serious or life-threatening reactions.

The company recently did an audit of all of its product labels and noted that while “cream” was listed on the packaging, the common name “milk” was not.

At least one person has come forward to say that they got sick from eating one of these products.

Helados Mexico products are sold locally at Albertsons, Fred Meyer and Walmart. Walmart also carries La Michoacana products. Here’s a look at the recalled products, flavors and best by dates.
