OAKLAND — Edy’s Grand Ice Cream has recalled 5,000 cartons of its Limited Edition Girl Scouts Samoas Cookie Ice Cream because they may contain peanuts and egg not identified on the label. 

The recalled cartons were distributed in Columbus, Ohio, and parts of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennesee and the Florida Panhandle. 

People with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts should not eat the ice cream, the company said Thursday. They should send the bottom of the carton to the company for a refund and throw the rest of the ice cream away, the company said. 

The cartons in question are the 1.75-quart size and have a code date of 48-18-42 09 20 AL on the bottom. No other Edy’s ice cream products are affected, and no consumers have reported symptoms of allergic reaction. 

The company is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network to alert customers and investigate the incident. 

Send carton bottoms to Edy’s Grand Ice Cream, Consumer Relations, 5929 College Avenue, Oakland, Calif., 94618, or call 1-888-837-4438 with questions.
