The recalled products have a production date of Jan. 1, 2017, to Dec. 31, 2017, and a “best by” date of Jan. 1, 2018, to Dec. 31, 2018. The Hood and Kemps products may show a “best by” date of July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019.

No illnesses have been reported from the recalled products

The potential for contamination was found when routine testing showed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a few ice cream bar samples.

The recall is being expanded out of precaution for consumer health and food safety after a few additional samples tested positive for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, the company said. There isn’t any evidence of contamination before Oct. 31, 2017, but Fieldbrook Foods has issued the recall back to Jan. 1, 2017. 

The company has suspended the production and distribution of products made on the production line during an investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Consumers who have purchased the ice cream bars are urged to return them to the store where they purchased them for a refund. Consumers with questions can call the company at 800-333-0805 x2270.

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 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 in pregnant women.
