Ice cream sold in 19 states is recalled due to listeria outbreak [View all]

A frozen food company from New York has recalled cups of its 8-ounce ice cream because the product might be contaminated with listeria. The recall, announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday, centers on Real Kosher brand Soft Serve On The Go. The FDA said it's investigating the ice cream, which has been sold in 19 states and Washington, D.C.
One person in New York and another in Pennsylvania have fallen ill and needed hospitalization after eating the ice cream, FDA officials said.
Real Kosher has stopped producing the ice cream until the FDA finishes its investigation. The company — which also sells frozen fruit, pizza and flatbreads — said this week its other products are still safe to consume. No deaths have been reported linked to the ice cream.
"Our highest priority is the safety and well-being of our customers, which is why we have made the decision to recall all Soft Serve on the Go Cups," the company said in its recall notice. "Soft Serve on the Go Cups are manufactured at their own dedicated facility. No other products are affected by this recall."
