A company responsible for producing ice cream products for several popular brands, including Hershey’s, Jeni’s and Friendly’s, has issued a recall because some of its products may be contaminated with Listeria.
In a notice posted on the Food and Drug Administration’s website, Totally Cool Inc. said it had already ceased production and distribution of the affected products after the agency’s sampling revealed the presence of Listeria cells.

The affected products include:
Hershey’s 38 fluid ounce vanilla and chocolate flavored ice cream cakes; 110 fluid ounce vanilla and chocolate flavored ice cream cakes; 4 fluid ounce Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Cones; and 4 fluid ounce Cookies & Cream Polar Bear Ice Cream Sandwiches.
