WASHINGTON — Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. is conducting a Haagen-Dazs recall of a limited number of Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars shipped to Kroger and Giant Eagle stores in 31 states after the Food and Drug Administration posted an allergy alert, Nov. 4. The company said a packaging mix-up at the start of a production run may have put wheat-containing bars into boxes that don’t list wheat, creating a “serious or life-threatening” risk for people with wheat allergies, Nov. 4, 2025.
Haagen-Dazs recall: what shoppers should check
The recall is limited to one product and one batch. If you bought Haagen-Dazs mini bars recently — or you have a box tucked in the freezer for the holidays — look for these identifiers in the FDA recall notice:
Product: Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Dark Chocolate Mini Bars (6-count box, 11.1 oz.)
Batch code: LLA519501 (printed near the “Best By” panel)
Best-by date: Jan. 31, 2027
Where it was shipped: Kroger locations in 29 states and Giant Eagle locations in Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia
Dreyer’s said no other Haagen-Dazs products, and no other batches of these mini bars, are included in the Haagen-Dazs recall.
Haagen-Dazs recall: what to do if you have batch LLA519501
If the batch code matches, treat the box as recalled — especially in households managing wheat allergy, celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Kroger’s in-store posting for customers lists the affected product’s UPC as 74570-30605 and says shoppers should not eat it; see the Kroger customer notice.
Do not eat it if you have a wheat allergy or severe sensitivity.
Return or dispose of it for a refund, according to the company.
Get help quickly if you think you’re having an allergic reaction, especially if you have trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat.
Why undeclared wheat matters
Wheat is one of the major food allergens that must be declared on labels for FDA-regulated packaged foods. The agency notes that food allergic reactions can range from mild symptoms to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis; more details are in its explainer on food allergies and labeling.
For a practical overview of wheat allergy symptoms and precautions, Food Allergy Research & Education offers a consumer-friendly wheat allergy guide.
Allergen-related mix-ups have also driven other frozen dessert recalls in recent years. In 2022, the FDA posted a notice about a Van Leeuwen recall for undeclared tree nuts, and in 2024 it published an expanded Babcock Dairy recall tied to undeclared egg.
Dreyer’s said it has not received reports of illnesses or injuries connected to this Haagen-Dazs recall, but it urged consumers with wheat concerns not to take chances.
