Mayfield Dairy Farms is recalling some of the 1.5-quart containers of its Homemade Vanilla Select Ice Cream because of possible ammonia contamination.
No other products are being affected by the recall.
The only containers of Homemade Vanilla affected have a date code of 03/17/10 and a plant code of 010176 on the rim of the lid.
"That is the only code that is affected," said Mayfield spokeswoman Bridgett Raper. "If you have a container of Homemade Vanilla with a different code on the rim, then that is safe."
The containers also have a Universal Product Code number of 75243 20148.
More than 14,000 containers have been recalled across several states in Mayfield's Southeastern U.S. distribution area. As for where the containers are specifically located, Mayfield officials are uncertain as of yet.
"We've been researching, trying to find exactly where the containers are," Raper said. "It is scattered right now. We know it has affected Georgia and parts of Tennessee. As for the Athens market area, we don't know yet."
Mayfield asks that anyone who currently has or is purchasing a container of Homemade Vanilla Select Ice Cream check the code before buying or serving the product.
Ammonia ingestion can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting and throat irritation.
Those who have containers of Homemade Vanilla with the recalled codes on them are asked to dispose of the ice cream but keep the container and return it to the store from which it was purchased for a full refund or exchange.
Those with questions about the product can contact Mayfield at 1-800-MAYFIELD (1-800-629-3435).
