Texan grocery chain H-E-B is yanking select packs of its "Creamy Creations" ice cream from the shelves due to a chilling discovery: potential metal contamination. Grocery shoppers with a penchant for frozen treats are advised to check their freezers and avoid a spoonful of danger. The recall affects 12-count packs of 3-ounce ice cream cups in assorted flavors, including chocolate, lime/orange sherbet combo and homemade vanilla/chocolate combo.

Consumers are warned not to consume the products, but instead to return them to where they were purchased for a refund. A quick response from H-E-B has ensured that all implicated products have been quickly sidelined from their Texas and Mexico stores, as well as from Central Market, Joe V’s Smart Shop, and Mi Tienda outlets. As reported by KENS5, "The company said all products related to this recall have been removed from store shelves."

No injuries associated with the potentially metal-laced ice cream have been reported. Nonetheless, H-E-B is taking no chances with consumer safety. The scope of the recall is vast, reaching all corners of H-E-B's sprawling market presence in Texas and beyond.

To identify if you've bought a possibly contaminated pack, look to the back of the products' outer bag for the UPC and code dates—not on the individual cups themselves. H-E-B has made available a full list of affected UPC and code dates for those who need to double-check their purchases. As AOL News noted, "Customers who bought any of the products should not eat them and can return them for a full refund."

For further information or to address concerns, customers may contact H-E-B Customer Service at 1-855-432-4438 during business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. H-E-B is aiming to ensure everyone affected can swiftly and safely sort out any issues related to this recall, keeping the focus on quality and safety.
