More Cookie Dough Listeria Recalls Expected

The potentially contaminated cookie dough responsible for the Blue Bunny ice cream recall was distributed by Aspen Hills Inc. of Garner, IA., the same product that forced Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries to issue 2 separate recalls for its ice cream products in less than a month. Two other companies, Chocolate Shoppe and Publix, have also issued recalls for ice cream products over similar concerns. The problem is likely to get worse before it gets better, as Aspen Hills distributes to dozens of companies that may soon be forced to issue recalls of their own.

Listeria Infection Symptoms

Listeria infection, or listeriosis, is a severe foodborne illness caused by eating foods contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. The illness is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. However, people without these risk factors can also develop the infection.

Signs and symptoms of listeriosis include:

• fever
• stiff neck
• confusion
• weakness
• vomiting
• diarrhea (which may be bloody)
