Elevated Maple Walnut Ice Cream Recalled for Listeria Risk

Elevated Ice Cream Company is recalling Maple Walnut Ice Cream due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination from a recalled ice cream mix.

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, and 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.

Plain-English summary

Elevated Ice Cream Company is recalling Maple Walnut Ice Cream because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The product is packaged in 2.5 gallon or 1.5 gallon plastic tubs or cardboard quart containers, though the firm cannot determine exactly how the specific batches were packaged.

The recall is necessary because the ice cream mix used in these products was produced and recalled by Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream. Approximately 60 batches are affected. All product was distributed in the local Port Townsend, Washington area.
