How do I find the lot number on the product?
Check the UPC code on your Barron County Organics 20 Mile Dark Chocolate frozen custard package. The recalled product has UPC 50005-48805 and comes in one-pint containers or 86 oz. scoopers. The recall notice does not list specific lot numbers, so all packages with this UPC are affected. Look for the barcode label on the container to find the UPC.
How worried should I be? What does this recall class mean?
This is a Class II recall, meaning the product may cause temporary health problems or a slight chance of serious harm. The 20 Mile Dark Chocolate frozen custard was not pasteurized after blending as required by Wisconsin law, which increases the risk of harmful bacteria. Most people recover without lasting effects, but young children, elderly adults, and those with weakened immune systems face higher risk. Contact your doctor if you have symptoms.

Return the recalled Barron County Organics 20 Mile Dark Chocolate frozen custard to the store where you bought it for a refund. If you purchased it at 10-Mile Organic and Local General Store, contact them directly at 796 29 3/ (the phone number appears incomplete in the recall notice). Bring your receipt if you have it, though many stores will accept returns without one for recalled products.
