Jeni’s Ice Cream has issued a voluntary recall of all their flavors of ice cream because of possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes. To date, no illnesses have been associated with these products.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals infected by Listeria may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, infected pregnant women can suffer miscarriages or stillbirths.
