Unilever PLC (UN, UL) said it is recalling certain lots of Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the U.S. because they may contain tree nuts that aren't declared in the ingredient or allergy-information lists.

The consumer-products giant said the recall involves a limited quantity of Ben & Jerry's Coconut Seven Layer Bar bulk containers and Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey pints that were made in the U.S. and distributed to retail stores and ice-cream shops.

Unilever said the products could contain undeclared almonds, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts, which pose a risk to consumers with an allergy or severe sensitivity.

Unilever said the recall stemmed from an error by one of its suppliers, adding that no illnesses have been reported, and that it has corrected the issue.
