(Petaluma, CA) Straus Family Creamery is voluntarily recalling a variety of organic ice cream products sold in 17 states due to concerns that metal fragments may be present, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

No injuries have been reported, the FDA said.

The recall affects products sold in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. The products were placed on shelves beginning May 4.

The affected items can be identified by their best-by dates, which are printed on the bottom of the container, the FDA said.

Straus Family Creamery is working with retailers to remove the products from store shelves. The company is advising consumers who purchased affected containers to dispose of them.

The company said it will not offer refunds but will provide vouchers to customers who request them. Voucher information is available on its website.

“Food safety and product quality remain top priorities for Straus,” the company said on its recall page.
