FDA Reclassifies Outshine Black Cherry Fruit Bar Recall as Class II
The FDA has changed the hazard classification for the recall of Outshine Fruit Bars Black Cherry, 6-count 2.5-ounce packages, according to the agency's enforcement report for recall number H-1268-2026. The action is now listed as Class II.

The recall, initiated on August 18, 2026 and reported on September 2, 2026, covers 226 pallets of the product, which the enforcement report says may contain glass pieces. The affected packages carry UPC 041548000121 and batch codes and best-before dates of LLA618503, LLA618603, LLA618703, LLA618803, LLA618903 and LLA619003, all 31 JUL 2027, printed on the bottom of the package. The product is described as packaged in paper outer cartons with individually wrapped fruit bars inside, to be kept at 0F (-18C) or colder.
The enforcement report lists distribution to AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, KS, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, PA, PR, TN, TX, UT, VA, VI, WA and WI. The firm named in the report is Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream Inc. of Laurel, MD. The recall is listed as ongoing.
The FDA's database also lists seven other actions by the same firm, including four dated September 2, 2026 covering Outshine Fruit Bar Watermelon 6-count 2.5-ounce with UPC 041548413624, Outshine Fruit Bars Grape 6-count 2.5-ounce with UPC 041548244044, Outshine Fruit Bars Strawberry 6-count 2.5-ounce with UPC 0415486100, and Outshine Fruit Bars Strawberry, Pineapple, Grape and Tangerine 24-count, all Class II and all citing possible glass pieces.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
