Plain-English summary

Elevated Ice Cream Company is recalling 30 batches of Raspberry Italian Ice. The product may be packaged in 2.5-gallon or 1.5-gallon plastic tubs or cardboard quart containers, though the firm cannot determine exactly how the batches were packaged. Some containers may have a handwritten production date on a white label, while some quart containers are stamped with a Julian date on the bottom.

The recall is being conducted because the product contains ice cream mix produced by Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream, which was previously recalled due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. All affected product was distributed in the local Port Townsend, Washington area.

Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using it and follow the instructions provided by the recalling firm or the FDA for disposal or return.
