What consumers should do
Consumers who have the recalled frozen dessert should not eat it, serve it, sell it or distribute it.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency advises people to compare the brand, product name, package size, UPC and code against the recall guidance because recalls can apply only to specific lots or date codes.
If all of the identifying details match, the product should be discarded safely or returned to the retailer where it was purchased.
People who are unsure whether their container is included should contact the retailer or Danone Canada before consuming it.
Anyone who believes they became ill after eating the product should seek medical advice and report the concern through the appropriate food-safety channels.
Why the recall was issued
The stated concern is extraneous material, specifically plastic-like and gravel-like fragments that could pose a physical hazard if consumed.
The recall notice does not state that every container of the product is affected.
It also does not list a confirmed illness outbreak connected to the recalled frozen dessert.
That is why checking the exact product code and best-before date is important rather than assuming that every So Delicious product or every Salted Caramel container is included.
What happens next
The recall was dated September 17, 2026, and the public notification was issued on September 22, 2026.
Retailers are expected to remove the affected product from sale and prevent it from being served or distributed.
The CFIA oversees recall activities and may issue further updates if additional codes, retailers or products are identified.
Consumers can monitor the federal recalls database for changes to the notice, review other product recalls and should keep the package information available if they need to contact a retailer or the company.
The affected item is marketed as a dairy-free frozen dessert rather than a conventional dairy ice cream, but the recall is relevant to anyone who may have bought it as an ice cream alternative.
Consumers who regularly buy plant-based or dairy-free frozen desserts should check their freezer rather than relying on the product’s appearance or flavour.
