Correction (July 22 2025): The subject line of our email alert on July 22nd 2025, incorrectly stated that "more than 10 million cases" of Rich's ice‑cream bars were recalled. The correct figure is more than 10 million individual bars (110,292 cases). This article above has always shown the correct numbers.
