Totally Cool, Inc. of Owings Mills, Maryland, is recalling multiple brands of ice cream due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. While healthy individuals may experience only short-term symptoms, Listeria can lead to miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
The products were distributed nationwide through retail locations and direct delivery. No illnesses have been reported to date. The recall follows FDA sampling that discovered Listeria. Production and distribution of the affected products have ceased, and an investigation is underway.
Consumers should return recalled products to the place of purchase for a full refund. For questions or concerns, contact Totally Cool, Inc. at (410) 363-7801.
