Summer and ice cream go hand-in-hand. Afterall, there is nothing as refreshing as an ice-cold treat straight from the freezer. Unless that is, you get listeria from it.

While no illnesses have been reported at this time, erring on the side of caution, the FDA recommends you toss the tubs and hit up the point of purchase for a refund. Be sure to check the complete recall list here for specific lots and plant codes to verify your product was — or wasn’t — included in the recall. Without further ado, here are the brands on the chopping block.

I'm Italian and a chef, so most days, I'm down to do things the long way, like simmer pasta sauce all day or make my own bread. It's partially how I was raised and partially what has been hammered into me working for nearly a decade in professional kitchens.
