Outshine Fruit Bars Recalled: What to Check Now
If you have Outshine Fruit Bars in your freezer, it is worth checking the package before eating them. Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream has issued a voluntary nationwide recall involving select Outshine Fruit Bars because of the potential presence of glass fragments. Current reports identify several popular flavors and advise consumers to check their packages carefully.
Which Outshine Fruit Bars Are Recalled?
Current reporting identifies five affected flavors: Strawberry, Watermelon, Grape, Tangerine, and Black Cherry. The affected products are sold in six-count packages, with individual bars weighing about 2.5 ounces. The recalled products were distributed nationwide in the United States.
Some reports have provided UPC and date information for specific affected products. For example, reported affected products include Strawberry with UPC 041548610047, Watermelon with UPC 041548413624, Tangerine with UPC 041548612041, and certain Grape products with UPCs 041548244044 and 041548000121. Reported best-by dates extend into 2027.
Because recall information can depend on the specific package, consumers should not assume that every Outshine product or every package of an affected flavor is included. Check the package information against the latest recall details before consuming it.
Why Were the Fruit Bars Recalled?
The recall involves the potential presence of glass fragments. Glass is considered a serious physical hazard in food because swallowing a fragment can cause injury.
The recall is being described as voluntary, and current reports say there have been no reported illnesses or injuries associated with the affected products at the time of publication.
What Should Consumers Do?
If you have one of the potentially affected Outshine Fruit Bars, the safest approach is to not eat it until you have confirmed that the package is outside the recall.
Consumers who identify a recalled product are being advised to discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Current reporting also says consumers can contact Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream for additional information.
Do not rely only on the flavor name. Product packaging, UPC information, batch or lot information, and best-by dates can matter when determining whether a particular package is included.
Are All Outshine Products Recalled?
No. The current recall concerns specific Outshine Fruit Bar products, rather than the entire Outshine product line. Reports specifically identify the affected flavors and package formats, while other Outshine products are not included in this particular recall.
This distinction is important because consumers should avoid unnecessarily discarding products that are not part of the recall.
Bottom Line
The current Outshine Fruit Bars recall is a food-safety issue worth taking seriously. If you have frozen fruit bars from the affected flavors in your freezer, check the package details before eating them.
For the latest information, compare the product's UPC, batch information and best-by date with the current recall notice. When in doubt, do not consume the product until its status has been confirmed.
