3 weeks ago •source www.fda.gov
Recall notice
Belgian Yummies of Fort Myers, FL, is alerting the public that its 4-ounce packages of Ice Cream Sandwiches and 5-liter containers and 4.75-liter pans of Gelato contains undeclared allergens. The recalled Ice Cream Sandwiches and Gelato were distributed in Florida through wholesale orders. None of the products
were available for retail sale. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
Recalled products:
- Belgian Yummies Sandwiches, flavors of Vanilla, Chocolate, Raspberry, Salted Caramel, Key Lime, and Peanut Butter, contain undeclared wheat, soy, egg, coconut, and/or peanuts.
- Sofra Sandwiches, flavors of Vanilla and Chocolate, contain undeclared wheat, soy, egg, and coconut.

- Belgian Yummies Gelato, Strawberry flavor, contains undeclared FD&C Yellow #5
- Belgian Yummies Gelato, Birthday Cake flavor, contains undeclared wheat and FD&C Yellow #5
- Belgian Yummies Gelato, Horchata flavor, contains undeclared wheat.
The sandwiches come in a 4-ounce, clear plastic or gold package marked with an expiration date of 08/31/2024 stamped on the back. The Strawberry and Birthday Cake gelato comes in a 5-Liter gray container and the Horchata gelato comes in a 4.75-Liter gray pan marked with an expiration date of 08/31/2024.
The recall was initiated after Belgian Yummies and the Florida Department of Agriculture discovered during an inspection that the product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of wheat, soy, egg, coconut and/or peanuts and FD&C Yellow #5. The problem was caused by outdated labels being used during the packaging process. Labels were immediately corrected, and ingredient lists were provided to all wholesale customers who received the affected products.
People who have allergies to wheat, soy, egg, coconut, and/or peanuts or have a sensitivity to FD&C Yellow #5 run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
In case you experience harm from allergens or undeclared ingredients, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

2 weeks ago •reported by user-bbdfw989
4/4/24 drank some orange juice, got nausea, gas, cramps & diarrhea for 4hrs off and on. thought it was the soda threw it out,started to level out & feel better, started drinking the orange juice with in 15mins i was puking inside Redners bathroom, went home, puking
gradually got so severe, violent & nonstop, i could not stop even with medicine had to go to ER, released with severe nausea that continued for 6 days after. arbys drive thru chic also got sick f/oj at same location as well as another woman posted on fb she got sick f/oj at the Phoenixville McDonalds. I called the day I got sick and was blown off because no one else called it wasn't until the 4/15/24 when i found the other two women who also got sick f/ mcdonalds orange juice that i called mcdonalds again and spoke to jeff.. is it two late to be tested for anything that would have indicated food poisoning , hospital only tested for gastro issues via blood samples that were fine. .. again the sequence of events and how fast it happened when i drank the oj along with the two other folks indicate food poisoning. mcdonalds insurance does not want to pay for my bills(no insurance) and missing work because they say the other two women are hearsay and i cant prove it was food poisoning.. the hospital did not have a determination when i asked she shrugged her shoulders.. but again the events and timing point to food poisoning from mcdonalds orange juice and the other location is only about 9miles from the one i went to ,, so it is very feasible that they got the same oj deliveries.. also no one near me previously, during , nor after got sick..
