Those Who Scream for Ice Cream Might Say Differently Following this Florida Recall.

A “serious or life-threatening” mistake resulted in Publix voluntarily recalling ice cream in Florida and five other states this week.

One lot of Publix Rich & Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream half-gallon containers with a June 19, 2026, sell-by date — UPC 41415 03043 — was recalled this week after it was revealed that there was an issue with the labeling of the product. Instead of the Rich and Creamy version, the cartons may contain the company’s Rich & Creamy French Vanilla Ice Cream, which lists eggs as a main ingredient.

“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions if they consume this product,” officials warned in the news release.

Generators Can Save You During a Hurricane — Unless You Make This One Mistake

By Leesfield & Partners

With the 2025 hurricane season nearing its first full month, safety experts are urging Floridians to avoid a dangerous but all-too-common generator error.

As hurricane season continues, families all across the Sunshine State will prepare their homes and/or essential electricity devices — such as phone chargers, medical equipment and refrigerators — to be powered by generators in case of any power outages. Generators burn fuels like propane, diesel or gasoline in order to produce electricity.
