I hope your Valentine's Day was well (or your Palentine or Galentine or just candy on sale February 15 day) because I have to share more chocolate related recalls with you all.
Remember that these come from the USA's FDA, so check your own country's food safety agency to protect yourself and those you love.
---------- Recalls ----------
The Royal Ice Cream Company, Inc. of Manchester, CT is expanding its recall to include all products manufactured at the facility within expiry, 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.
