Guam’s Department of Public Health and Social Services announced the recall of a non-dairy frozen dessert due to potential choking hazards and risks of mouth injuries. The product, sold under the brand name “Coco Loco,” was discovered to contain pieces that may pose a risk to consumers.

Officials urged residents to immediately stop consuming the affected product and return it to the place of purchase for a refund. “The safety of our residents is our top priority, and we are taking these precautions to prevent any incidents,” a department spokesperson stated.

The recall affects specific batches of Coco Loco that were distributed across various retail outlets in Guam. Consumers have been advised to check the labels and discard any of the product still in their possession.

This action follows reports from customers who experienced discomfort while consuming the dessert, prompting an immediate investigation. The Department of Public Health is working closely with the manufacturer to ensure the issue is resolved.

Coco Loco is a popular non-dairy option, often chosen by those with lactose intolerance or dietary restrictions. The product is made from coconut milk and marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional ice cream.

Officials are continuing to monitor the situation and recommend that consumers stay informed through official channels regarding any further developments or additional recalls.
