If you're someone who lives with food allergies, dietary restrictions, or both, then you know how difficult it can be to find reliably safe prepared foods. And if you happen to be a vegan with any kind of nut allergy, then you probably know frustrating this can be, as many vegan products such as dairy-free cheeses, spreads and dips, and desserts are based on nuts and variousnut milks. So if you recently bought a pint of Van Leeuwen ice cream's vegan Oat Milk Brown Sugar Chunk, listen up, because the brand just recalled 2,185 containers of this flavor due to the likely presence of undeclared tree nuts.

According to a notice published yesterday by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), 14-ounce containers of this ice cream flavor have been recalled because they might contain trace amounts of undeclared cashews or pistachios. According to the ice cream's ingredients list, its base is made from oat milk, but the FDA reported that a consumer called in a complaint after suffering an allergic reaction. Oat MilkBrown Sugar Chunk ice creams with a lot number of 21V194 and a best by date of 1/13/2023 have been removed from store shelves, and the FDA's notice advises anyone allergic or sensitive to peanuts, chestnuts, Brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pine nuts, or cashews to dispose of the dessert or return it to its place of purchase for a full refund.
