There was a problem at an ice cream facility which has made many of us ice cream lovers concerned. As always, follow the links if you live in the USA and if you live elsewhere, consult your government's food safety department.
---------- Chocolate Recalls ----------
Massive Velvet Ice Cream Recalls
Velvet Ice Cream has announced it is voluntarily recalling all of its ice cream and sherbet products made on or after March 24, 2021 as a precaution because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
No illness or injury has been associated with the recalled products, which are being recalled in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The issue was identified as a result of the company’s routine testing.
The products were distributed to Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia through various drug stores, convenience stores and supermarkets. They are packaged in various sizes and containers.
The products were distributed and sold in supermarkets from on or after March 24, 2021 with the following product codes, which can be found at the bottom or side of the container, and the product name. (Note: The Chocolate Cult is only share the chocolate related products, to find all affected products, please follow the link in the article title. Unfortunately, the company did not provide quality images to the FDA so that outlets reporting on the recall could serve you, the consumers very well. I have tried to find better images where possible.)
