Urgent Recall: Life-Threatening Allergy Risk Found in Popular Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream!

An urgent and potentially life-threatening health alert has been issued for a popular vegan ice cream product, shocking consumers and health authorities alike. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has announced a critical recall of Food Heaven Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream due to the dangerous presence of undeclared milk, posing a severe risk to individuals with dairy allergies.

This unforeseen contamination means that a product marketed specifically for those avoiding animal products could trigger a severe allergic reaction, including anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal.

The recall affects specific batches of the beloved dairy-free treat, distributed by The Vegan Kind.

Consumers who have purchased Food Heaven Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream with the batch codes L3168 or L3169, and a best-before date of December 2025, are strongly advised not to consume the product. Instead, they should immediately return it to the point of purchase for a full refund.

Do not risk consuming this item if you or someone in your household has a dairy allergy.

The FSA has released a comprehensive risk statement, highlighting that the presence of milk makes the product a potential health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.

For individuals with severe dairy allergies, even a small amount of milk protein can lead to a critical, life-threatening response.

The Vegan Kind has expressed its sincere apologies for the error and is cooperating fully with the recall process to ensure all affected products are removed from shelves and consumers are protected.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the rigorous checks required in food production, especially for allergen management.

If you have consumed the affected ice cream and experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms can include hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, wheezing or difficulty breathing, dizziness, and collapse.

Your health is paramount.

Always check food labels carefully, even on products you trust, and stay informed about product recalls. This recall underscores the vital importance of accurate labelling to prevent serious health consequences for vulnerable consumers.
