House of Flavors recalls Ashby’s Sterling peanut butter landslide ice cream

US-based House of Flavors has recalled a portion of its Ashby's Sterling Peanut Butter Landslide Ice Cream, due to a health-related risk.

The ice cream is produced using peanut butter cookie dough purchased from Aspen Hills, which has expanded its recall due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

Ashby's Sterling Ice Cream has not yet received any reports of illness attributed to this product.

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterial organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

Although healthy individuals may suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhoea, Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Only Ashby's Sterling Peanut Butter Landslide Ice Cream packaged in 3gal container with item number 7305 and lot number #16195 is affected by the recall.

The company has further said that no other Ashby's Sterling Ice Cream or House of Flavors products are included in this recall. The product was sold to distributors and ice cream shops nationally.

The company also said that distributors and ice cream shops with product matching this lot number should dispose of the product and contact their distributor for a full refund.
