Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. has voluntarily recalled select Outshine Fruit Bars because some packages may contain small pieces of glass. The company announced the recall on August 16, 2026, covering five flavors sold in 6-count, 2.5-ounce paddle-bar boxes: Strawberry, Watermelon, Grape, Tangerine and Black Cherry. No other Outshine products are part of this recall.
The affected bars were distributed to retailers nationwide. Several chains have posted their own recall notices for customers, including Publix, Market Basket and the Defense Commissary Agency, which runs military commissaries. Other stores that carry Outshine products may also have the affected bars even though they haven’t published a separate notice of their own — no complete, store-by-store list of where the product was sold has been published.
So far, no illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with the recall, according to the company’s announcement.

How to check your box
Look at the bottom of the box for the best-before date and the batch or lot code. Affected packages have best-before dates between June 30, 2027 and November 30, 2027. Reported lot-code ranges include Strawberry: LLA616903-LLA617603, LLA620303-LLA621203 and LLA621303-LLA621603; Watermelon: LLA617603-LLA618103 and LLA618203-LLA619503; Grape: LLA616803, LLA616903 and LLA619703-LLA620303; and Tangerine: LLA619603 and LLA619703. Black Cherry-specific lot codes were not published in the sources reviewed. Use the date and lot or batch code together when checking your box.
Where the published mapping is clear, you can also check the UPC number against the flavor:
- Strawberry: 041548610047
- Watermelon: 041548413624
- Grape: 041548244044
- Tangerine: 041548612041
The additional UPC 041548000121 was attributed inconsistently to Grape or Black Cherry in available reports. Do not rely on that code alone; if you have Black Cherry or are unsure, check the best-before date and lot code on the box.
What to do if you have one
If your box falls in the recalled range, don’t eat the product. Throw it away or take it back to the store where you bought it for a full refund. Dreyer’s has set up an email address for questions about the recall: dreyers@casupport.com.
A few things worth knowing
This is a different, newer recall than Outshine’s 2023 recall over undeclared milk allergen in a separate product line.
As of August 18, 2026, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)’s public food-recall database does not yet list an entry for this August 2026 recall, and no FDA classification for the event was found in the sources reviewed. Outshine’s five previous recalls — three in 2020, one in 2021, and the 2023 milk-allergen recall — are unrelated to this glass issue, but all of them eventually appeared in the FDA’s database as Class II, now-closed entries.
