Foster’s Food Fair-IGA would like to announce a recall on Stone Ridge Ice Cream Novelties due to possible contamination. The recalled products may be contaminated with Listeria.

Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria) is a foodborne disease-causing bacteria; the disease is called listeriosis. Listeria can invade the body through a normal and intact gastrointestinal tract. Once in the body, Listeria can travel through the bloodstream but the bacteria are often found inside cells. Listeria also produces toxins that damage cells. Listeria invades and grows best in the central nervous system among immune compromised persons, causing meningitis and/or encephalitis (brain infection). In pregnant women, the fetus can become infected, leading to spontaneous abortion, stillbirths, or sepsis (blood infection) in infancy.

Foster’s IGA carries Stone Ridge Ice Cream Novelties and has been affected by this recall. The affected products have been pulled from the shelves.

The products affected are as follows:

No other Stone Ridge Ice Cream Novelties branded products are included within this recall.

Customers should check the UPC’s on Essential Everyday branded products in their homes to be sure none of the affected product has been purchased. We encourage all customers who have purchased this product from any of our Foster’s IGA locations to return the affected product for a full refund. Please discontinue use of any affected product.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
