Mikawaya is issuing a voluntary recall on a limited number of Mikawaya Brand Chocolate Chocolate Mochi Ice Cream because it could possibly contain peanuts, posing a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction to those who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts.
The recalled ice cream includes the following:
- UPC code 070934990609 --- found on the back of the box.
- Lot number LOT 090-17 --- printed on the top enclosure.
- Sold in a paperboard box, containing 9.1oz (258g) of 6-1.5oz (43g) pieces
The product was distributed to all Trader Joe’s stores nationwide and has been removed from sale.

No other Mikawaya Brand products besides this specific lot of Chocolate Chocolate Mochi Ice Cream are affected by this voluntary recall.
