Ben & Jerry's Recalls Ice Cream That Contains Undisclosed Wheat
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) -- Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc. is recalling 250,000 pints of its Country Peach Cobbler ice cream because the containers do not list wheat as an ingredient.


When Willie Nelson found out about this he said;
"Wheat? Wheat? There's wheat in it?"
"I thought they said weed".


:D


(Thanks to Steven Colbert)

hehe, maybe Ben and Jerry told Willie there'd be Weed, but smoked it, then forgot to put Wheat(used a replacement) on the label?

My girl has celiac (wheat/gluten allergy)....I should go pick up a quart of this, share it with her and then sue the crap out of them. :)

Article says:
"Consumers who purchased Country Peach Cobbler with the dates Jan. 23, 24 or Feb. 8 or 9, 2008, printed on the bottom are advised to discard the pints. Ben & Jerry's will give a full refund to consumers who send the base of an empty container back to company."

Discard it? Shouldn't that just say, "Consumers who are allergic to wheat" should discard it? Why should everyone else throw it away? Now we know it has wheat, the packaging just doesn't say so.
