D’Dioses Recalls Fruit Popsicles Over Undeclared Milk, Pecans, Pistachios, Yellow #5 and Red #40

PATERSON, N.J. (May 27, 2026) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that DE DIOS’S ICE POPS II LLC is voluntarily recalling several varieties of D’Dioses Fruit Pops because the products may contain undeclared milk, pecans, pistachios, Yellow #5 and Red #40. The FDA warned that consumers with allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients could face serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume the affected products.

D’Dioses recall: quick summary

According to the FDA, DE DIOS’S ICE POPS II LLC distributed the recalled 3.7 oz. D’Dioses Fruit Pops to retail grocery stores in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. The agency said an FDA inspection identified manufacturing process concerns related to allergen cross-contact prevention, prompting the company to initiate the recall. Company officials confirmed that the recall includes products manufactured before April 27, 2026, while products made under updated allergen-control procedures after that date are not affected. Although the FDA has not received reports of illnesses to date, regulators are urging consumers to stop consuming the products immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

What happened?

The FDA said DE DIOS’S ICE POPS II LLC initiated the recall after an inspection revealed that existing manufacturing procedures required improvements to prevent allergen cross-contact during production. The recall was announced on May 27, 2026 in coordination with the FDA.

DE DIOS’S ICE POPS II LLC, which operates under the D’DIOSES Fruit Pops brand, produces a variety of frozen fruit-based treats sold in retail grocery stores across the northeastern United States. DE DIOS’S ICE POPS II LLC sold the affected products in 3.7 oz. packaging and included multiple flavors produced before April 27, 2026.

According to the FDA notice, “people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to these ingredients run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume these products.” The agency also confirmed that no illnesses had been reported as of the recall announcement date.

The company told regulators it immediately implemented updated allergen-control procedures and revised manufacturing instructions following the FDA inspection. The company manufactured products after April 27, 2026 under the new procedures, and those products are not included in the recall.

Affected products

Brand	Product	Size	Best by date	Issue	Affected states
D’DIOSES	Fruit Pops – assorted flavors	3.7 oz.	Produced before 4/27/2026	Undeclared milk, pecans, pistachios, Yellow #5 and Red #40	NJ, NY, PA, CT

What caused the issue?

According to the FDA notice, the recall was linked to inadequate allergen-control procedures that may have allowed cross-contact between ingredients during manufacturing. The undeclared allergens include milk, pecans and pistachios, while the products may also contain undeclared Yellow #5 and Red #40 food colorings.

Health experts warn that undeclared allergens can be especially dangerous for people with severe food allergies. Reactions may include hives, swelling, nausea, breathing difficulties and, in extreme cases, anaphylaxis: a potentially life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention.

Children, individuals with known tree nut or dairy allergies and people with severe sensitivities to food dyes may face the highest risk. According to the FDA, no illnesses have been reported so far.

Other relevant recalls

Recent allergen-related recalls across the frozen dessert and snack categories have highlighted continuing concerns around manufacturing controls and labeling accuracy. Similar recalls in recent months have involved undeclared milk, tree nuts and food dyes in frozen treats and packaged snack foods distributed nationwide, including We R Nuts’ recall of Uncle Giuseppe’s Milk Chocolate Bridge Mix over undeclared milk, soy and cashews, Wawa’s recall of Iced Tea Lemon, Diet Lemonade and Fruit Punch over a possible undeclared milk allergen, Frito-Lay’s recall of Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill Pickle Potato Chips over undeclared milk, Junebar’s recall of snack bars over undeclared milk and soy, and B.C. Williams Bakery Service’s recall of cake and bread mixes over undeclared milk allergen concerns.

Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86, said recalls like this one reinforce the importance of strict manufacturing oversight throughout the supply chain.

“Food safety isn’t just about compliance; it’s about trust. Every recall reminds us how vital it is to maintain transparency, rigorous checks and supplier accountability,” Mizrahi said.

Broader pattern

This recall is the latest in a growing number of allergen-related food recalls affecting grocery products sold in major U.S. retail markets. Undeclared allergens continue to rank among the most common causes of FDA food recalls, particularly in facilities that manufacture products containing dairy, nuts and specialty ingredients in shared production environments.

Industry analysts say manufacturers are increasingly investing in improved traceability systems, sanitation procedures and allergen testing programs to reduce the risk of accidental cross-contact and labeling failures.

Ensuring safe eats

The D’DIOSES Fruit Pops recall underscores the ongoing importance of allergen management and transparent food labeling across the frozen dessert industry. For consumers with food allergies, even small labeling errors can pose serious health risks, making strong manufacturing controls and supplier oversight essential.

Companies can help prevent future incidents through enhanced allergen testing, employee training, updated sanitation procedures and rigorous packaging verification systems. Consumers who purchased the recalled products should stop using them immediately and return them for a refund.
