A vegan dessert is the center of an “urgent” national recall due to incorrect allergen labels, marking the second such recall being issued in the past two weeks.
On August 6, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted a recall to its website, saying that a “non-dairy frozen dessert” with coconut milk, chocolate, and almonds failed to properly label cashews as a potential allergen. The impacted brand is Full Circle Market, whose manufacturer is G.S. Gelato & Desserts, Inc.
The business shared that the recall affects frozen vegan desserts that were delivered between April 18 and July 11, having been packaged in 16-ounce and 1-pint cartons. Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont each have stores that received shipments of the faulty products.
The product, with a “best by” date of October 15, 2025, also includes an advertisement for a separate product from Nature’s Promise, which includes cashew milk, chocolate, and almonds in a similar “non-dairy frozen dessert.”
A recall was issued following a store that stocked the product saw that there were two different product labels—one on the cartons and one on the lids—and alerted the company about the confusion and inconsistency. Cashew milk was reportedly added to the coconut milk product at some point “dung the manufacturing process,” the recall says.
According to the company, no illnesses connected to the incorrect allergen and ingredient labels have been reported.
At the end of July, a separate recall was published related to just four pints of a vegan ice cream that was being sold at a single location in Brooklyn, New York. The Van Leeuwen brand was recalling its Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll flavor because someone with a peanut allergy reported an adverse reaction.
As noted by the FDA in that recall, eight pints of the product had failed to indicate the “presence of peanuts.” At the time of the recall notice, four of the affected pints had already been “recovered,” leaving four more still “in distribution.”
