Galliker Dairy Announces Voluntary Recall of Rocky Road Ice Cream and Sundae Nut Cones Because of Possible Health Risk

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Johnstown, Pennsylvania (January 30, 2009) – The Galliker Dairy Co. is voluntarily recalling all three-gallon containers of Galliker-brand Rocky Road ice cream and Galliker-brand Sundae Nut Cones sold to foodservice and retail outlets in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The Rocky Road ice cream is packaged in three-gallon paperboard containers with a paper lid. Products with code dates (lot numbers) of 008-08, 086-08, and 176-08 are being recalled. These lot numbers are printed on the package labels that are found on the lid and sidewall of each container. No UPC is contained on the package.

The Sundae Cones are individually wrapped and distributed in a 24-pack paperboard box. Products with codes dates prior to 01/29/10 are involved. These code dates are printed on the outside of the paperboard box. No UPC is contained on either the box or the cones package.

No other Galliker Dairy products are impacted by the recall.

The Company initiated the voluntary recall in response to an expanded recall by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). PCA's expanded recall now includes all peanuts and peanut-related products from PCA's Blakely, Georgia, plant from January 2007 to present. The FDA is investigating an outbreak of Salmonella targeted at PCA's Blakely plant
