Thousands of Rich’s Ice Cream products recalled due to possible listeria contamination

What to know about listeria

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Listeriosis is an infection usually caused by eating food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Over 110,000 cases of Rich’s Ice Cream frozen dessert have been recalled due to a possible listeria contamination concern, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.

The recall, which was first initiated in June, was recently updated to a Class II threat.

A Class II threat means the product "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote," the FDA website says.
