Beloved New York ice cream brand loved by Sabrina Carpenter recalls pints over possible peanut allergen

Upmarket ice cream brand Van Leeuwen has issued an urgent recall after a customer got ill.

The New York-based company - which counts Espresso hitmaker Sabrina Carpenter as a big fan - is recalling certain pints of its vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll ice cream.

It comes after a customer suffered an allergic reaction to the peanuts in it - after packs did not state they contained the allergen.

Packs are easily recognizable by their bright orange packaging with cream lettering and a golden rim on the lid that reads 'vegan.'

The recalled ice cream comes in 14 oz containers with a lot number of 24V094 and a best-by date of April 3, 2026. Both details are found on the bottom of the package.

Sabrina Carpenter is a big fan of Van Leeuwen ice cream. The company has recalled several pints that were incorrectly labelled

This recall does not apply to any other lot number or varieties of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream products. One adverse reaction has been reported to date.

In total, eight pint were sold with incorrect labelling. Four have been identified - meaning there are still four unaccounted for.  

'The recall was initiated after it was discovered that eight pints containing the peanut allergen were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of peanuts,' the US Food and Drug Administration said in a recall notice posted on July 30. 

'Four pints have been recovered to date, leaving four pints still in distribution. Subsequent investigation identified the problem was caused by a mock case sample, which accidentally entered the distribution channel.'
