Wilcox Ice Cream recalls all flavors due to possible listeria contamination
View Date:2024-12-23 16:24:36
Wilcox Ice Cream is recalling all flavors of Wilcox brand ice cream, yogurt and ice cream bars, as well as Leonardo's brand gelato, because the products could be contaminated with listeria, the company said.
The New Hampshire Department of Health found that the Arlington, Vermont, ice cream maker's Super Premium Mint Chocolate Chip tested positive for the bacteria during routine testing in September.
"As part of our investigation, we determined that preliminary testing showed that the ice cream mix purchased to make our products may contain listeria monocytogenes," Wilcox said in a recall notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
The organism can cause serious, and sometimes fatal, infections in young children, frail or elderly people, as well as in others with weakened immune systems. While healthy people may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infections can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
No illnesses or injuries related to the recalled products have been reported to date, Wilcox said.
Separately, two people were hospitalized in a listeria outbreak linked to ice cream made by The Ice Cream House of Brooklyn, New York, which issued separate recalls in August and September.
The latest recall involves Wilcox-made products that were distributed in retail stores and co-ops in four states: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.
In addition to that flavor, the company is recalling all products made at its facility with best by/sell by dates of September 14, 2024, to November 14, 2024:
