Thousands of ice cream bars recalled due to listeria concern

(95.3 MNC)

Almost 29,000 cases of ice cream bars have been recalled after samples tested positive for Listeria.

Listeria monocytogenes can survive in freezing temperatures and can cause serious illness and fatal infections. It’s especially dangerous for pregnant women, where infections can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

No illnesses have been confirmed, but officials are concerned that consumers and suppliers may still have the recalled bars in their freezers.

The recalled products have production dates that range from January 1 through December 31 of 2017, and a “best by” date ranging from January 1 through December 31 of this year.
