Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Customers are urged to destroy or return the affected products. Full credit will be offered for a full refund of the products in question. More information is available at www.chocolateshoppeicecream.com. Consumers may contact us at 800-466-8043 or via email at info@chocolateshoppeicecream.com.
