Loard's Ice Cream, a San Leandro-based company, has issued a recall for 43 of its retail ice cream products sold across Northern California. The recall was initiated after an FDA inspection found the items were distributed without the required ingredient or allergen labels, posing potential risks to consumers with food allergies. No illnesses have been reported so far.

Why it matters

Food safety and transparency are critical issues, especially for products that may contain allergens. This recall highlights the importance of proper labeling to protect public health, and it could impact Loard's reputation and sales in the region.

The details

The recall affects pints and larger containers of Loard's ice cream sold at 17 of the company's own parlors as well as other Northern California retailers. The FDA inspection found the products were distributed without the necessary ingredient and allergen information on the labels, which could be dangerous for people with food allergies.

• The recall was initiated on April 19, 2026 after the FDA inspection.

What’s next

The company is working to properly label all affected products and remove them from store shelves. Consumers who purchased the recalled ice cream are advised to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
