Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Velvet Ice Cream Company is recalling a wide variety of ice cream, sherbet, and frozen treat products under the Velvet, Super Dip, Buehler’s, North Star, and Ruggle’s brands. These products are being recalled due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. The recall affects products sold in various sizes, including 16-ounce pints, 56-ounce cartons, quarts, and 3-gallon tubs distributed across multiple states. Consumers who have purchased these products should not eat them and instead return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems, the infection can be fatal or cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

  1. Check your freezer for Velvet, Super Dip, Buehler’s, Discount Drug Mart, Whale of Pail, North Star, or Ruggle’s branded frozen treats.
