The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is advising consumers and retailers about a voluntary recall of select Outshine Fruit Bars because they may contain glass. The recalled products were distributed to retailers nationwide and may have been sold in Massachusetts.

Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. issued the recall after receiving consumer reports of glass in the product. No illnesses or injuries associated with the recalled products have been reported as of August 18, 2026.
