How do I find the lot number on the product?
Check the UPC code on your Barron County Organics 20 Mile Maple Cream frozen custard package. The recalled product has UPC 50005-48806 and comes in one-pint containers or 86 oz. scoopers. The ground truth information doesn't include specific lot numbers, so the UPC code is your main identifier. If your package matches this UPC, it's part of the recall.
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 risk of serious harm. Barron County Organics 20 Mile Maple Cream wasn't pasteurized after blending as Wisconsin law requires, which could allow harmful bacteria to grow. Most people won't get seriously ill, but vulnerable groups like young children, elderly, or those with weak immune systems face higher risk. Contact your doctor if you have symptoms.
How do I get a refund for this recall?
Return your Barron County Organics 20 Mile Maple Cream frozen custard to the store where you bought it for a refund. You can also contact 10-Mile Organic and Local General Store at 796 29 3/4 Avenue (the manufacturer's location) for refund instructions. Bring your receipt if you have it, though many stores will accept returns of recalled products without one. Don't eat the product.
Is this brand safe to buy now?
The recall notice doesn't say whether Barron County Organics has fixed the pasteurization problem or when safe products will be available. Before buying this brand again, contact the company or check the FDA website for updates. You can also ask the store if they've received confirmation that new inventory was properly pasteurized according to Wisconsin requirements. Other frozen custard brands not affected by this recall remain safe options.
Is this recall real? How do I verify it?
