I was so sad to hear about this! Luckily, my usual Blue Bell Ice Cream wasn't included on the list.

Thanks for posting!

Crazy! Who would have thought ice cream would give you listeria poisoning?!? How does that even happen?

I'm beginning to think all food gives you listeria. I know everyone says stay away from cold cuts, but the last year I've heard about it in regular meat, nectarines, melons, and now ice cream. And I know lettuce has had a major issue with ecoli in the past. It makes me think all food is out to get us...

It was in carmel apples and gala and granny smith apples this past fall/winter too. I'll stay away from deli turkey but once that first tri meat aversion passed, there was no keeping me from a nice cold cut wrap if apples can't even act right.

Don't know if it helps, but I've taken to washing my thick-skinned fruits with soap (and rinsing well).

nomnom I've been using the trader joes veggie and fruit wash, which I like. I'm just saying it's a bit ridiculous that we're told to avoid deli meats, but told to eat fruits and veg like it's our job but those have also had the same issue.

Ok, I can't figure it out. What does pph mean?

Thanks viola! I googled to no avail.

I have never heard of this brand before. But I was sad to see that they have a cotton candy flavor, and I wish that was in and around my mouth. I wish Ben and Jerrys would sell their cotton candy in stores, but they don't.
