Two cases of allergic reactions to the popsicles were reported in a Food & Drug Administration notice, but no other Unilever products have been recalled so far.

The popsicles were distributed nationally to wholesale distributors and operators between February 1, 2024, and August 15, 2024. The FDA noted that the applicable UPC and lot codes can be found on the outside wrapper of the product.
