Unilever United States, Inc. is voluntarily recalling a limited
number of mislabeled 24-count boxes of Popsicle® brand Sugar Free
Orange, Cherry and Grape flavored ice pops that mistakenly
contain Popsicle® brand Sugar Free Healthy Bunch® Fudgsicle® and
Creamsicle® ice pops. Milk, a known allergen, is undeclared on
these boxes. Persons who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to
milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic
reaction if they consume the Sugar Free Healthy Bunch® Fudgsicle®
or Creamsicle® ice pops.
The affected boxes may contain Fudgsicle® and Creamsicle® ice
pops that are individually wrapped with the “Fudgsicle®” and
“Creamsicle®” logos. This limited voluntary recall is being
conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA).
The affected product is sold in a paperboard box, containing
24–1.65 FL OZ (48.7 ML) POPS with a unit UPC code of
7756702295, with date codes of OCT0312GCD, OCT0412GCD,

Louisiana, Michigan, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
No product was shipped outside the U.S.
No other Popsicle® brand products are affected by this limited
voluntary recall. There have been no reported cases of illness.

containing milk was distributed in packaging that did not reveal
the presence of milk.
Consumers who have purchased boxes of the above product with the
affected UPC code and date code are asked to immediately
discontinue use of the product, retain the outer box and call
