Ice cream makers’ warning over metal

Tubs of one of Ben& Jerry’s best- known ice creams have been recalled over fears they may contain small pieces of metal.

Some consumers who bought 500ml cartons of Cookie Dough are being told not to eat it and instead throw it away.

Four batches of the ice cream are thought to be affected.

The company issued an “important safety notice” after internal quality assurance checks showed that a limited number of products could be affected.

It said: “As a precaution, everyone with a 500ml tub of Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough in their freezers at home should check the batch number on the bottom of their tub to make sure it’s not affected.”

The batch codes affected are L62110L011, L62111L011, L62112L011 and L62113L011.
