What to do if you have it

Something physical ended up in the product, so the risk is injury rather than illness, and it is uneven: some packages carry it and most do not. That makes the lot codes below the whole decision. Do not pick through dq chocolate reduced fat ice cream mix, 5 gal to check it yourself.

How to tell whether your package is one of them

A recall covers particular production runs, not everything the company makes, so the codes decide it. These are the ones the FDA published. Match them against what is printed on your package, usually near the best-before date.
