Ben & Jerry’s Recalls Quarter Million Pints of Ice Cream
Ben & Jerry’s is recalling 250,000 pints of Country Peach Cobbler Ice Cream because it didn't indicate on the label that there was wheat in it. Here are the affected date codes: Jan 23, 2008; Jan 24, 2008; Feb 8, 2008; Feb 9, 2008.
While it's good that the company is recalling the product, it really makes you wonder how they could not have the labeling reflect what's inside the contents. Surely companies know that they need to do this. Wouldn't they have a process in place to make the list in an orderly and complete fashion?
Order? Thoroughness? Corporations? I forgot I was talking about large groups of mistake-prone human beings who are probably too absorbed in the meetings they must attend.
I wonder what else gets into food that we never hear about?
