Blue Bell Ice Cream has recalled Moo-llennium Crunch Ice Cream half gallons packaged in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cartons produced in its Brenham, TX, plant because of undeclared almond, walnut and pecan. The batch of products was recalled after a serious packaging mix-up was discovered, as per the US Sun. Moo-llennium Crunch ice cream being packaged incorrectly in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cartons prompted the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) to take the step.

Blue Bell is urging anyone who purchased the affected ice cream to return it to the store for a full refund. Consuming the mispackaged ice cream could trigger severe or life-threatening allergic reactions.
