Ice cream products recalled over possible bacteria contamination
An ice cream manufacturer recalled multiple brands of ice cream products on Monday due to possible bacteria contamination.
The Food and Drug Administration said ice cream products sold under the brands Friendly’s, Hershey’s, Jeni’s and several others have been recalled because they could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes — a bacteria that can cause serious or fatal infection in children, older people and other people with weak immune systems.
The bacteria was discovered during FDA sampling. The manufacturer is continuing to investigate the contamination and take precautions, the FDA said.
No illnesses have been reported from this recall as of Tuesday.
