10110.8D/AFI 48-161_IP/MCO 10110.38D, DOD Hazardous Food & Nonprescription Drug 

Recall System, 6 September 2018.

2. COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT: June 14th, 2023, Gelato Boy of Boulder, Colorado is 

recalling 728 cases / 5,824 units of Chocolate Chunk Gelato because it may contain undeclared 

MILK. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to MILK run the risk of serious or lifethreatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Gelato Boy Chocolate Chunk was distributed nationwide and is sold at grocery stores, including 

but not limited to Sprouts Farmer’s Market, King Soopers / City Market, Whole Foods Market, 

and others. The product can be found in the ice cream and novelties aisle.

The recall was initiated after a customer notified Gelato Boy that the pint did not have its normal 

appearance and that it “tasted like there’s dairy in it”. Gelato Boy immediately located a pint 

with the same lot code and brought it to a lab for testing. It was confirmed that the product 

containing MILK was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of MILK.

Customers with a MILK allergy or sensitivity who have purchased the affected product are urged 

not to consume the product and dispose of it or return it to their place of purchase for a full 

refund.

This recall is being made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

and comes in a 16 fl oz paper pint container with a lid. The affected Lot Code is 4043T2, with a
