MDA Issues Advisory Over Possible Ice Cream Contamination

ST. PAUL (WJON News) -- Consumers are being warned about a potentially contaminated ice cream. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has issued a consumer advisory for ice cream and non-dairy frozen desserts made by Minneapolis-based Bebe Zito Ice Cream.

The warning is due to the potential presence of metal and plastic fragments. The MDA determined that products made by Bebe Zito may have been contaminated during a routine inspection. All the products were sold exclusively by Bebe Zito Ice Cream shops in Woodbury and Minneapolis, and also served at catered events by Bebe Zito from November 19, 2025, to June 24, 2026.
