Zurheide Ice Cream Co., Inc., Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Peanuts in Zurheide "Rowdy Reindeer" Ice Cream
Sheboygan, WI - April 24, 2002 -- Zurheide Ice Cream Co., Inc. of Sheboygan,
Wisconsin is voluntarily recalling 1/2 gallon Rowdy Reindeer Ice Cream in round
paper containers because they may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have
allergies to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening reaction if
they consume this product.
The recalled Rowdy Reindeer Ice Cream was distributed in Wisconsin and Northern
Illinois.
The product comes in a 1/2 gallon round paper container marked with lot #2671
on the bottom of the container.

the product was manufactured prior to manufacturing changes implemented by the
firm intended to eliminate potential allergen risk.
