Don’t eat this recalled dairy-free frozen dessert. It might have stones and hard objects mixed with cashews

One of the best things about the Christmas period is all the yummy desserts found in people’s kitchens. But now one of the largest food companies in America is issuing a warning about one of those sweet treats.

Here’s what you need to know about a new recall from Danone U.S., which impacts one of its dairy-free frozen desserts.

What’s happened?

On December 15, North American food producer Danone U.S. announced a voluntary recall of one of its dessert products, per a notice posted on the website of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The company is recalling its So Delicious Dairy Free brand of Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert.

The recall is due to concerns that the product may contain foreign materials mixed into the dessert. Specifically, there is a chance that the cashews in the frozen dessert may have “small stones and other hard objects” embedded within them.

The potential for foreign material contamination is obviously concerning, which is why Danone U.S. is pulling the impacted products from the shelves and urging consumers who have them not to eat them.

What products are included in the recall?

Only one product is listed as being part of this recall, though the product has multiple best-by dates:

• Product Name: So Delicious Dairy Free Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert pints
• SKU: 136603
• UPC: 744473476138
• Best-By Dates / Lot No (Exp Dates): Before 08 Aug 2027

The recalled product, as the notice on the FDA website states, can have multiple “Best-By Dates / Lot No (Exp Dates),” all of which are before August 8, 2027.

Danone U.S. has also posted photographs of the recall product, which you can view here.

It should be noted that the recalled product actually came in two different packaging designs. Products purchased before February 7, 2025, have a different package design than those purchased after. 

Has anyone been harmed by the recalled product?

The recall notice does not state whether anyone has been harmed by the presence of foreign materials in the frozen dessert. 

Danone U.S. says, “So Delicious Dairy Free is working swiftly with retail partners to remove the potentially impacted product from shelves. In the meantime, the company has already identified and corrected this issue and will soon be able to bring back the frozen dessert so many people enjoy.”

Where was the recalled product sold?

The notice does not specify where the product was sold. Fast Company has reached out to Danone U.S. for additional details.

What should I do if I have the recalled product?

You should not consume the recalled product if you have it in your possession.

Instead, the recall notice posted on the So Delicious website states that you should dispose of the product. 

For information about a refund for the product, consumers are asked to contact So Delicious via the contact form on its website. Alternatively, consumers can call the company on the So Delicious Dairy Free Care Line at 1-833-367-8975.
