Elevated Ice Cream Company is recalling Macaroon Bisque ice cream due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination from a recalled ice cream mix supplier.

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 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 20 batches of Macaroon Bisque ice cream. The product may be packaged in 2.5-gallon or 1.5-gallon plastic tubs or cardboard quart containers, though the firm cannot determine the specific packaging for all batches. The recall is due to the potential for contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, as the product contains ice cream mix produced and recalled by Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream.

All affected product was distributed in the local Port Townsend, Washington area. Some containers may have a production date handwritten on a white label, while some quart containers are stamped on the bottom with the Julian date. Consumers should check their freezers for these products and dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.
