Another Ice Cream Maker Recalls Products

thewestsidestory.net

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has initiated a voluntary recall of all ice creams, frozen yogurts, sorbets, and ice cream sandwiches for all flavors and containers because of the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes, according to a news release from the company. The company is ceasing all sales and closing all scoop shops until all products are ensured to be 100% safe.

The ice creams, frozen yogurts, sorbets, and ice cream sandwiches being recalled were distributed in the United States to retail outlets, including food service accounts and grocery markets, as well as online at jenis.com. This recall includes all products bearing the “Jeni’s” brand name.  Locally, all three Mama Jeans locations in Springfield carry the Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream brand as well as Homegrown Food Store in Springfield.

The contamination was discovered in a sample randomly collected by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture.
