The Life Raft Treats Ice Cream products recall for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination has been expanded to include one more lot. No illnesses have been reported to the company to date in connection with the consumption of these items. The recalling firm is Life Raft Treats of North Charleston, South Carolina.
On September 18, 2023, the company was notified by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control that they needed to add one more lot of Not Fried Chicken Ice Cream treat to their recall because it also tested positive for the pathogen. The firm decided to include Life is Peachy Ice Cream to the recall because both of these items were manufactured in the same room.
These products are all Life Raft brand. The new recall includes Life is Peachy ice cream that is packaged in a 6 count box. There is no UPC number for this product. The use by dates are up to and including BEST BY AUG 08282024. Also recalled is Not Fried Chicken Ice Cream in a 64 ounce bucket. This item doesn’t have a UPC number either.

If you bought these Life Raft Treats Ice Cream products, do not eat them. You can throw them away in a secure trash can, or you can return them for a refund.
Clean your refrigerator with a mild bleach solution after you get rid of the ice cream. Freezing doesn’t kill Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, and the pathogen establishes itself easily in moist, cold environments.
