Zarlengo's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Gelato Recalled for Undeclared Soy Allergen

Zarlengo Italian Ice is recalling Chocolate Chocolate Chip Gelato in multiple sizes because soy lecithin is listed in the ingredients but soy is not declared in the allergen statement, posing a risk to consumers with soy allergies.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy) where the hazard statement is explicit in the source text. While no illnesses are reported, the failure to declare a known allergen in the allergen statement meets the High severity criterion for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.

Plain-English summary

Zarlengo Italian Ice is recalling Chocolate Chocolate Chip Gelato packaged in 6 fl oz cups, 16 fl oz cups, 32 fl oz cups, 1-gallon buckets, and 2-gallon buckets. The product contains soy lecithin, which is identified in the ingredients statement, but soy is not mentioned in the allergen "contains" statement on the label.

Consumers with soy allergies who rely on the allergen declaration may unknowingly consume this product, creating a potential allergic reaction hazard. Affected lot codes include: 03026, 00226, 05426, and 05726 (6 fl oz cups); 33825 (16 fl oz and 32 fl oz); and 03026 (1-gallon). The product was distributed in Illinois, Indiana, and Texas.

Consumers who have purchased this product should not consume it if they have a soy allergy. Those with soy allergies should discard the product or return it to the point of purchase for a refund.
