🍦 Ice Cream Inquisition: Unilever's Milky Mishap! 🍦

Hold onto your MAGA hats, folks! Unilever has just pulled a whopping 137,000 cases of Popsicle Jolly Rancher Frozen Confection Pops. Why, you ask? They've been caught red-handed with undeclared milk in their pops! 🐄

On August 21, Unilever waved the white flag and admitted their popsicles could be a moo-ving target for those with severe milk allergies. The FDA even reported two cases of allergic reactions. Looks like someone's been crying over spilled milk! 😢

These sneaky popsicles are usually peddled by ice cream trucks, concession stands, and grab-and-go freezers nationwide. But fear not, your multipack pops from the grocery store are safe... for now. 👀

Check your pops for the universal product code 077567003720 and these lot codes:

Keep your eyes peeled, patriots! It's a wild world out there when even your popsicles can't be trusted.
