Quick Summary

So Delicious Dairy Free Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert pints are being recalled nationwide due to contamination concerns reported by consumers who found foreign objects like small stones in their desserts. The affected products, manufactured by Danone US with best-by dates on or before April 3, 2028 and SKU "136603," were distributed to major retailers including Target and Walmart. While the recall follows a pattern of increasing consumer recalls this year, data from the FDA shows that the total number of food recalls in 2023 is actually about 15% lower than historical averages, with most recalls initiated voluntarily by manufacturers rather than mandated by the FDA.
