ICE CREAM AND LISTERIA JUST DON’T MIX–AS A SECOND ICE CREAM MAKER JENI’S SPLENDED OF OHIO AND THE FIRST BLUE BELL OF TEXAS HAD DONE THE VOLUNTARY RECALL TO CLEAR SHELVES OF ITS PRODUCTS–AS 10 LISTERIA ILLNESS AND THREE DEATHS HAVE BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THE CREAMERIES–LISTERIA EFFECTS THE ELDERLY, PEOPLE WITH COMPROMISED IMMUNE, AND PREGNANT

A second ice cream company has recalled all of its products after health officials found listeria in a sample of its frozen treats.

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams of Ohio said on its website on Thursday that it is recalling its frozen products after the listeria discovery.

In an online statement, Jeni's said it is taking the voluntary precautionary measure in order to ensure complete consumer safety.

The company is recalling its ice creams, frozen yogurts, sorbets, and ice cream sandwiches and closing retail stores until its products are 'ensured to be 100 per cent safe'. ……

…………The recall includes all products bearing the brand name 'Jeni's.' 

The action follows a similar recall by Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries on Monday night. 

Blue Bell's ice cream was linked to ten listeria illnesses in four states, including three deaths, and listeria was found in several of the company's products.

The company is the third largest ice cream manufacturer in the US and sells its products in 23 states.

It said it 'can't say with certainty' how the bacteria was introduced to the manufacturing line, Blue Bell's chief executive Paul Kruse said in a statement.

'We're committed to doing the 100 percent right thing, and the best way to do that is to take all of our products off the market until we can be confident that they are all safe,' Kruse said.
