See the list of 68 products recalled for listeria risk

Totally Cool Inc. has recalled 68 ice cream products from 13 brands because they may be contaminated with listeria, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Monday.

Totally Cool, an ice cream manufacturer based in Owings Mills, Maryland, has ceased production and distribution of affected products due to FDA sampling that revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, the FDA said. No other products manufactured by Totally Cool are affected by this recall.

The products were distributed nationwide and were available at retail locations and for direct delivery, the FDA said. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Consumers in possession of recalled products are encouraged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions can contact Totally Cool at 410-363-7801 and Regulatory@totallycoolicecream.com between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Symptoms of listeriosis infection

According to the FDA, there are a range of symptoms of listeriosis, the infection often caused by contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

Depending on the severity of the illness, symptoms can last from a few days to several weeks. Mild symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

If the more severe form of listeriosis develops, symptoms may include headache, neck stiffness, confusion, loss of balance, and seizures. In the very young, the elderly and immunocompromised people, listeriosis can cause death.

Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women, the FDA said.
