Ice cream lovers are being urged to check their freezers after a popular organic brand recalled several products over fears they could contain metal fragments.

Straus Family Creamery has voluntarily pulled a number of its Organic Super Premium Ice Cream flavours from shelves across 17 US states after reports of possible "metal foreign material" contamination.

The recall affects select tubs of Vanilla Bean, Strawberry, Cookie Dough, Dutch Chocolate and Mint Chip ice cream sold in states including California, Florida, Texas, New Jersey and Washington.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the affected products were distributed to retailers from May 4 and can be identified by "best by" dates printed on the bottom of the containers.

No injuries or illnesses linked to the products have been reported so far, but customers are being warned not to eat the ice cream if they have purchased any of the affected batches.

The California-based dairy company said the recall was launched "out of an abundance of caution" and confirmed it is working with stores to remove the products from sale.

Among the recalled products are:

• Vanilla Bean pint tubs with best-by dates of December 23 and December 28, 2026
• Strawberry quart tubs dated December 24, 2026
• Strawberry pint tubs dated December 25, 2026
• Cookie Dough pint tubs dated December 26, 2026
• Dutch Chocolate quart tubs dated December 27, 2026
• Mint Chip pint tubs dated December 30, 2026

Consumers have been advised to throw the products away rather than return them to stores. Straus Family Creamery said affected customers can apply for replacement vouchers through the company's recall website.
