Foreign Object Risk Prompts So Delicious Dairy Free Pint Recall 2026

Small stones and other hard objects may be lurking inside cashew inclusions in a popular non-dairy frozen dessert, prompting a voluntary nationwide recall. Danone USA has pulled select pints of So Delicious Dairy Free® Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert from store shelves after determining the product could pose a choking or injury hazard to consumers.

The White Plains, N.Y. and Louisville, Colo.-based company announced the recall on September 15, 2026, after the issue came to light through consumer complaints. The FDA has been notified and has posted the company’s announcement as a public safety service, though the agency does not endorse the product or the company involved.

Products Affected by This Recall

The recall is limited to one specific item: So Delicious Dairy Free® Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert pints. The affected containers carry SKU 136603 and UPC 744473476138, with best-by dates on and before April 3, 2028.

• Product: Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert (pint)
• UPC: 744473476138
• SKU: 136603
• Best-By Dates: On and before April 3, 2028
• Distribution: Retail stores across the United States

Danone USA has emphasized that no other So Delicious Dairy Free® codes, flavors, or products are included in this action. Product shipped after the identified best-by window is not affected, and unaffected inventory remains available on store shelves.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

According to the company’s announcement, the recalled pints may contain foreign materials, such as small stones and other hard objects, mixed into the cashew inclusions used in the dessert. Ingesting or biting into such material could pose a risk of dental injury or choking, particularly for consumers who are not expecting a hard object in a soft frozen dessert.

The problem surfaced through consumer complaints rather than a routine inspection, and Danone USA moved to notify the FDA and initiate the recall once the potential contamination was identified. The company says it is actively coordinating with retail partners to remove the affected product from store shelves nationwide.

Who Is Affected?

The recalled pints were distributed to retail stores throughout the United States, meaning consumers in any state could potentially have purchased the affected product. Anyone who bought So Delicious Dairy Free® Salted Caramel Cluster Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert with a best-by date on or before April 3, 2028 should check their freezer against the details listed above.

What Should You Do?

Consumers who have purchased the affected pints are advised not to eat the product under any circumstances. Instead, they should check the best-by date and UPC printed on the container against the details in this recall notice.

Official Statement

In its announcement, Danone USA stated that it ‘is issuing a voluntary recall’ of the affected pints due to the potential presence of foreign materials within the cashew inclusions, and confirmed that the FDA has been informed of the action. The company noted it is working directly with retail partners to ensure the affected product is removed from circulation as quickly as possible.

For media inquiries, the company has designated Karissa Seltz at US.media@danone.com as the point of contact. Consumers with product-specific questions are directed to the dedicated Consumer Care Line rather than the media contact.

This recall serves as a reminder for shoppers to periodically check product codes and dates on frozen items against official recall listings, particularly when a recall is narrowly limited to a single SKU and date range, as is the case here.
