DETROIT – The "Chunky Monkey" and "Coconut Seven Layer Bar" Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors sold in tubs are being recalled because they might contain nuts not listed as ingredients.
Unilever, the maker of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, revealed the recalled flavors might contain tree nuts such as almonds, Brazil nuts and hazelnuts that aren't declared in the ingredients list or the allergy information list.
