Madison, WI — Babcock Dairy has expanded its recall of Orange Custard Chocolate Chip Ice Cream to include a second lot, citing undeclared egg as the cause. The presence of egg, a major food allergen, was not disclosed on the product label, posing a potential health risk to individuals with egg allergies. While no allergic reactions have been reported, the company is urging affected consumers to take precautionary measures.
The recall, initiated by the Madison-based dairy, began after a mislabeled product was reported by a customer on November 4, 2024. Further investigation on November 18 revealed additional mislabeled containers, prompting the inclusion of the second lot in the recall. The mislabeling occurred when containers for Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream were mistakenly filled with Orange Custard Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, which contains egg.

The recall involves the following Babcock Dairy ice cream products:
- Orange Custard Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

The affected production dates are September 17, 2024 (09 1724), and September 30, 2024 (09 3024). The products were sold in half-gallon, cream-colored containers with red lids and red printing.
These ice creams were distributed in Madison, Wisconsin, at the following locations:

Company Response
Babcock Dairy has retrieved remaining products from retail shelves and reported no further labeling errors. The company is implementing corrective measures to prevent similar issues in the future.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers with egg allergies are advised not to consume the recalled ice cream. Affected products can be discarded or returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
