As the weather warms up, many people across the country have begun stocking their freezers with a popular frozen treat, ice cream. However, one ice cream company just issued a voluntary recall for a wide variety of their “ice cream and sherbet products because they could contain pieces of broken metal.” The company, H-E-B, revealed in the notice that “broken metal was discovered in the processing equipment during routine maintenance.”
As the weather warms up, many people across the country have begun stocking their freezers with a popular frozen treat, ice cream. However, one ice cream company just issued a voluntary recall for a wide variety of their “ice cream and sherbet products because they could contain pieces of broken metal.” The company, H-E-B, revealed in the notice that “broken metal was discovered in the processing equipment during routine maintenance.”
