Plain-English summary

The recall involves 13 batches of the ice cream, which may be packaged in 2.5-gallon or 1.5-gallon plastic tubs or cardboard quart containers.

The contamination risk stems from the use of ice cream mix produced by Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream, which has been separately recalled. All affected product was distributed locally in the Port Townsend, Washington area. Some containers may feature a handwritten production date on a white label, while some quart containers are stamped with a Julian date on the bottom.

Because Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious illness, particularly in vulnerable populations, consumers should follow the instructions provided by the recalling firm regarding disposal or return of the product.
