Who knew ice cream could be so complicated?
At the apex of summer, just when we need ice cream most, we’re reminded that an imposter lurks in the frozen case of the grocery store — a lighter, fluffier concoction called “frozen dairy dessert.”

I guess the silver lining here is that it seems like this company is doing the right thing to prevent people from getting hurt.
CEO John Lowe broke the news today in a blog post to the Jeni’s website, which reads in part:
We have found Listeria in our production facility again. We discovered the Listeria through routine swabbing as part of our monitoring program. We stopped production earlier this week and have been investigating where and how it may have re-entered the facility. … Since resuming production in our kitchen on May 13, 2015, we have been testing every batch of ice cream we have made and holding it until we learned that the testing did not detect any Listeria. So it is with complete confidence that I can say all of the ice cream that has been served in our shops since reopening on May 22 has been safe and is 100% Listeria-free.
