Working Cow Homemade Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Recalled for Listeria Risk

Working Cow Homemade Inc. is recalling 277 tubs of 3-gallon Key Lime Pie Ice Cream due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4. However, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat food product typically warrants the highest severity rating due to the potential for serious health consequences, aligning with the 'Critical' criteria for high-risk pathogens in the context of a Class I recall.
