Penn State’s Creamery Recalls Frozen Treats

Penn State’s creamery is recalling frozen treats it made over a nearly three-month span after consumers reported finding small pieces of plastic and, in one case, a penny in their ice cream.

The recall announced Thursday affects ice cream and frozen yogurt made between May 16 and Aug. 11 by the on-campus Berkey Creamery.

University officials say no injuries or illnesses have been linked to the products but that they’re “erring on the side of caution.”

The creamery first received a report about a penny in a half-gallon ice cream container in May. Penn State police thought it an isolated incident until three other customers complained of plastic in their containers.

The Centre Daily Times reports an independent investigation found the plastic pieces did not get into the product during manufacturing.
