ISB Food Group is recalling two flavors of Nancy’s Fancy Gelato products for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. This is another secondary recall linked to Dr. Bob’s of Upland, a contract manufacturer. No illnesses have been reported to date, although listeriosis, the illness caused by this bacteria, can take up to 70 days to appear. No Nancy’s Fancy products have been found to be contaminated.
The recalled products are Nancy’s Fancy Butterscotch Budino Gelato and Nancy’s Fancy Peanut Butter with Crunchy Peanuts Gelato with expiration dates of March 18, 2017. They were distributed from March to October 2016 in California, Oregon and Texas. The product is in plastic pint-sized containers with the Nancy’s Fancy brand name, Butterscotch Budino flavor and Peanut Butter with Crunchy Peanuts flavor, specifically stamped on the bottom.
If you purchased these products, do not eat them. Throw them away or take them back to the place of purchase for a refund. Clean out your freezer with a mild bleach solution to kill any remaining bacteria. And if you ate these products and get sick within 70 days with a flu-like illness, including headache, abdominal pain, high fever, neck stiffness, and nausea, see your doctor.
