Florida-based Belgian Yummies has alerted the public that its 4oz packages of ice cream sandwiches and select containers and pans of gelato contain undeclared allergens, including wheat, soy, egg, coconut, peanuts, and artificial food coloring.
The problem was discovered during a Florida Department of Agriculture inspection when it was discovered that the product was distributed in packaging that did not list the presence of the allergens; this was due to the use of outdated labels, according to the notice.
The recalled products were distributed in Florida through wholesale orders and none of the products were available for retail. No illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall, the FDA said.
The recalled products are as follows:
- Belgian Yummies Sandwiches, flavors of Vanilla, Chocolate, Raspberry, Salted Caramel, Key Lime, and Peanut Butter, contain undeclared wheat, soy, egg, coconut, and/or peanuts.
- Sofra Sandwiches, flavors of Vanilla and Chocolate, contain undeclared wheat, soy, egg, and coconut.

- Belgian Yummies Gelato, Strawberry flavor, contains undeclared FD&C Yellow #5
- Belgian Yummies Gelato, Birthday Cake flavor, contains undeclared wheat and FD&C Yellow #5

New York-based Feel Good Foods has voluntarily recalled its Gluten-Free Plain and Everything flavored Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Bagels due to possible contamination with gluten. The recall was initiated after the company received a consumer report of an adverse reaction to gluten.
The Bagels are distributed nationwide through retailers and the recalled product can be found in the frozen sections. The products should be disposed of by those who have gluten allergy or sensitivity; customers may also return them to a retailer for a refund. Feel Good says it is implementing measures to prevent reoccurrence.
The recalled products are Cream Cheese Stuffed Plain Mini Bagels with UPC 89903900283 and Cream Cheese Stuffed Everything Mini Bagels with UPC 89903900286 and includes all best-by dates ranging from May 29 2024 to September 17 2025.
“Once we were made aware of trace amounts of gluten cross-contamination to Feel Good Foods’ Gluten-Free Plain and Everything flavored Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Bagels, we contacted the FDA and took swift action to voluntarily recall the impacted product,” said Vanessa Phillips, founder of Feel Good Foods. “As a founder who is personally affected by celiac disease, ensuring the integrity and safety of our gluten-free products is of the utmost importance. We take the health and safety of our consumers extremely seriously.”

The Food and Drug Administration has asked Newport Beach, California-based Sammy’s Milk to warn consumers against the use of the company’s Goat Milk Toddler Formula for infants under 12 months old.
The regulator was prompted to act after reviewing a social media post published by the company which featured a young baby on a picnic blanket reaching for one of the firm’s products. ‘Playtime with blocks and snacktime with Sammy’s Milk – what could be better?’ the company wrote.
But in a meeting with company representatives, the FDA told the firm that its product did not meet all requirements in order to be safely used as an infant formula product and ordered the company to make it clear to parents that its range is only suitable for children in the 12-36 months age band.
“Sammy’s Milk wants to emphasize that its product is specifically formulated for children between the age of 12 and 36 months, as clearly indicated on its packaging and website,” the company said in a statement published following its meeting with the regulator. “The product at issue was only available online, and included lot code SD348, with a best-by date of August 2025.
“If you are feeding our product to an infant, we recommend that you stop doing so because the FDA has concerns that Goat Milk Toddler Formula does not meet all FDA requirements for infant formula and may be unsafe and not provide sufficient nutrition when used as an infant formula,” the company said in a statement.
