Plain-English summary

Elevated Ice Cream Company is recalling 17 batches of Raspberry Sherbet due to the potential for contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The product is packaged in 2.5 gallon or 1.5 gallon plastic tubs or cardboard quart containers, though the firm is unable to determine exactly how the specific batches were packaged.

The recall is necessary because the products contain ice cream mix produced by Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream, which has been recalled for Listeria contamination. All affected product was distributed in the local Port Townsend, Washington area.

Consumers should check their freezers for this product. Some containers may have a production date handwritten on a white label, and some quart containers are stamped on the bottom with the Julian date. If you have this product, you should discard it or return it to the place of purchase.
