Babcock Dairy of Madison, Wisconsin, is recalling approximately 41 cases of Orange Custard Chocolate Chip ice cream that may be labeled as Chocolate Peanut Butter. 

People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs or yellow #5 run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.

The following products are subject to recall:

  • Product Name: Orange Custard Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Peanut Butter

  • Production Date: 09 1724
