The ice cream is sold at Dayton area stores and restaurants.
“We have decided to recall everything currently on retailer shelves, and we are closing our scoop shops until we are 100% confident every item we sell is safe,” said John Lowe, Jeni’s chief executive office, in a statement.
Listeria, a bacteria that naturally occurs in soil and water, primarily affects pregnant women and their newborns, older adults and people with immune systems weakened by cancer, cancer treatments or other serious conditions.
Customers who have purchased any of the products are urged to dispose of them or return them to the store where they were purchased for an exchange or full refund. Customers may also contact Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams at (614) 360-3905.
Jeni’s recall comes on the heels of a listeria contamination at Texas-based Blue Bell Ice Cream, which nationally recalled more than 8 million gallons of its product.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the number of illnesses linked to Blue Bell’s products has increased to 10. No illnesses are linked to Jeni’s products.
