Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream in the US is voluntarily recalling all ice cream, gelato, custard and sorbet for all flavors as they may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
The products associated with the recall include Snoqualmie Ice Cream, Snoqualmie Gelato, Snoqualmie Custard, Snoqualmie Sorbet or Emerald & Spruce Ice Cream or Top Pot Hand Forged Ice Cream which are produced on or after 1 January 2014 through 15 December 2014.
The recall has been initiated after the samples collected within the production facility have been found to contain Listeria during a testing by Washington State Department of Agriculture.
The recalled products were distributed in Arizona, Idaho, California, Oregon, Washington and may have been further distributed and sold in various retail outlets in Alaska, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
Consumption of the products contaminated with Listeria may cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Customers who have purchased the recalled products are advised to dispose them or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
