List of ice cream bars recalled for possible listeria monocytognees expanded.
The brands and stores impacted by the recall of Fieldbrook Foods ice cream bars now includes a long list that of products that were made at the company’s Dunkirk, New York, plant in 2017. Testing has found listeria monocytognees in ice cream bar samples from this production line.

In addition, the list of brands included in the recall has been expanded to include Great Value, Market Basket, Kroger, Econo, Sundae Shoppe, Giant Eagle, Lucerne, Purple Cow, Polar Express, Stater, and Food Club. Recalled products include orange cream bars, chocolate coated vanilla ice cream bars, and variety packs that include the chocolate coated vanilla ice cream bars.
Production at the Dunkirk plant has been suspended on this line of products and the FDA is continuing to investigate. Consumers are advised not to eat any of these brands of ice cream bars that have a production date between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017.
