ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ -- A U.S. ice cream distributer and the Food and Drug Administration are recalling ice cream that has apparently been mispackaged and could cause an allergic reaction in some people.

According to a Friday news release, the lid of the ice cream container reads "Breyers® All Natural Cookies & Cream" ice cream and the tub portion of the package describes the product as "Breyers® All Natural Mint Chocolate Chip" ice cream.
 
Officials say the product inside is "All Natural Cookies & Cream" and the ingredient label does not declare wheat, an ingredient of the Cookies & Cream product.

The mispackaged ice cream was distributed in several states, including Arizona.

The affected packages were distributed in 1.5 quart paperboard tubs marked with UPC # 077567254245 located on the side of the tub and in combination with "Best If Used By" dates of FEB1711GH, FEB1811GH and FEB1911GH located on the bottom of the tub.

Officials say there have been no adverse reactions reported, but anyone with those mispackaged products are urged to throw it away immediately and contact the company 1-877-270-7402 for a refund.
