Ice cream recalled in 41 states over listeria fears

2016 has certainly seen its fair share of ice cream being recalled because of listeria concerns. One more recall has been added to that list.

McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams recall

McConnell's Fine Ice Creams is voluntarily recalling seven flavors of ice cream sold in pints (16 oz.) that may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reportd that the contamination is likely tied to the facilities of a contract manufacturer, Dr. Bob's of Upland, LLC.

Ice cream produced at McConnell's own facility in Santa Barbara, California, is not included in the recall.

No illnesses have been reported, but consumers who have any of the following pints with these "best buy" dates should return them to the store for a full refund.

Additional questions can be directed to McConnell's recall hotline at 866-723-2454 or vial email to recall@mcconnells.com.
