FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - McKinney, Texas January 3, 2013 - Southwest Ice Cream Specialties is voluntarily recalling ShurFine Brand "Creamery Select (Premium Ice Cream) Dulce de Leche" Ice Cream (1.75 quarts, 1.66L) because it may contain praline pecan ice cream, which contains wheat, soy and pecans. The product is packed with a ShurFine Praline Pecan lid, but bears the Dulce de Leche product labeling on the carton. While no ShurFine product has been linked to any illness related to allergens at this time, Southwest Ice Cream Specialties is taking this precautionary measure because the ice cream inside the carton contains pecans, soy and wheat that are not declared on the packaging.

To date, no complaints or reactions have been reported. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to pecans, soy and/or wheat run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
