Blue Bell has issued a recall after a packaging mix-up resulted in the wrong flavor being placed in the wrong container—specifically, Moo-llennium Crunch ice cream being packed inside Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough half-gallon cartons. The problem: Moo-llennium Crunch contains tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) that aren’t declared on that Cookie Dough carton, which is a serious hazard for anyone with allergies.If you’re looking at a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough half gallon with a Moo-llennium Crunch lid and the code 061027524 is stamped on top, you’ve got a problem. An employee caught the error while restocking, and the company promptly removed the affected product. No illnesses have been reported.The mix-up reached retailers across parts of 16 states, including Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, New Mexico, and portions of Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, and Virginia. Undeclared tree nuts can trigger severe reactions in people with allergies, and shoppers rely on labels to make informed choices. If your carton matches the description, don’t eat it. Return it to the store for a refund or toss it if returning isn’t possible.A few more notes for the detail-oriented: the affected ice cream was produced at Blue Bell’s Brenham, Texas, plant. The recall targets the specific half-gallon described above—not the entire Cookie Dough line—and Blue Bell says no other incorrect packaging has been found to date.One code check, one quick swap, and you’re back to stress-free scoops. If you have questions, Blue Bell’s consumer relations team can assist you during business hours. However, the fastest solution is to bring the matching carton back and trade it in.
