The Outshine fruit bars recall affects a limited number of six-count, 2.5-ounce frozen fruit bars distributed to retailers nationwide. Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. announced the voluntary recall on August 16, 2026, citing possible foreign matter contamination involving glass.

The affected products are select Outshine Strawberry, Watermelon, Grape, Tangerine and Black Cherry fruit bars. No illnesses or injuries had been reported when the announcement was issued, but consumers are being urged to check their freezers and avoid eating any product that matches the listed identifiers.

Important Packaging Detail

Batch codes can be found on the bottom of the package. The original release’s product table appears to label the fourth listing as “Outshine Grape,” even though the announcement identifies the recalled flavor as Black Cherry. Consumers should carefully compare the UPC, flavor name, batch code and date printed on their package before deciding whether it is affected.

What Consumers Should Do Now

Anyone who purchased the recalled fruit bars should not eat them. The safest options are to dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers should also prevent children or other household members from eating the bars while checking the package information.

Possible glass contamination can create a serious injury risk if a contaminated product is consumed. Anyone who believes they may have been injured should contact a healthcare provider immediately. Although no illnesses or injuries had been reported, the voluntary action is intended to remove potentially affected products from circulation as quickly as possible.

Consumers with questions may contact Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. by email at [email protected]. The company said the safety, quality and integrity of its products remain its highest priority and apologized for the inconvenience to consumers and retail customers.

Why This Food Recall Matters

Frozen snacks can remain in household freezers for months, meaning recalled items may be consumed long after their original purchase. Checking the bottom of the package is especially important because the recall applies to specific production batches rather than every Outshine fruit bar.

Retailers nationwide received the affected lots, so consumers should not assume that a product is safe simply because it was purchased recently or from a familiar store. Comparing all identifying details is the most reliable way to determine whether a package is included.
