SUMMARY: Blue Bell is recalling limited batches of its Moo-llenium Crunch ice cream due to a packaging error at its Brenham, Texas plant. Some half-gallon cartons of Moo-llenium Crunch were mistakenly labeled in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough containers with Moo-llenium Crunch lids. Since Moo-llenium Crunch contains almonds, walnuts, and pecans, the recall warns customers with nut allergies of potential serious reactions. The mislabeled cartons can be identified by a specific code on the lid. Retailers across multiple states, including Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas, are affected.
