Marco Sweets & Spices, out of an abundance of caution, has initiated a voluntary recall of all batches of ice creams and ice cream sandwiches for all flavors and containers due to a voluntary recall initiated by its co-manufacturer, Totally Cool, Inc.
Totally Cool initiated a recall of all products produced at its facility based on the presence of Listeria monocytogenes on its ice cream cake line, detected during a routine FDA inspection. They have ceased production and distribution of all products. No confirmed illness have been reported at this time from consumption of any products made at Totally Cool.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers with the recalled product should immediately return it to the retail store where it was purchased or destroy it. Customers with questions may contact Marco Sweets & Spices at (720) 257-9278 or recall@marcoicecream.com or Sprouts Customer Relations at customerrelations@sprouts.com.
