Blue Bell Creameries recalls Light Ice Cream due to rare Listeria infections linked to the product. Consumers should check lot numbers and contact the company for details.
Five patients who were treated in a single hospital in Kansas were infected with one of four rare strains of Listeria monocytogenes.
Blue Bell Creameries is recalling Light Ice Cream products after five patients in Kansas were infected with rare Listeria strains. This recall is due to a potential risk of serious infection from the ice cream.
Listeria bacteria can cause serious infections, especially in vulnerable populations like newborns, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. The infection was linked to a specific strain found in the recalled ice cream.
People who purchased Blue Bell Light Ice Cream products with a half-gallon size and within the expiry date are affected. Those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk.
Check the product label for 'Blue Bell Light Ice Cream Homemade Vanilla Flavored Natural and Artificial Flavor Added' and the half-gallon size (1.89L). The recall covers all lots within the expiry date.
Look for the product name and half-gallon size on the label to confirm if it's part of the recall.
The recall is due to a potential risk of Listeria infection, so it's not safe to consume until the product is addressed.
Five patients in a single Kansas hospital were infected with rare Listeria strains.
Check the product label for the specific name and size; contact Blue Bell Creameries for further instructions.
