Hershey’s, Jeni’s and Friendly’s ice cream maker recalls products over listeria fear – Action News Jax

Totally Cool, Inc. of Maryland has recalled numerous ice cream brands that may contain Listeria monocytogenes.

A press release on the FDA website said that no illnesses have been reported so far, but Listeria can cause serious infections and even death in children, the elderly or frail, and people with weakened immune systems.

Healthy people may only experience symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. However, Listeria infections can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women, warned Totally Cool, Inc.
