The frozen treats may be contaminated with listeria, a potentially lethal foodborne pathogen. Rich's sells its products to schools and ice cream trucks across the country, so this recall is particularly dangerous for school-age kids. When Rich's first recalled the contaminated ice cream bars, the company sent a note to its distributors but not to the public, according to a Food Safety News report. Nearly three weeks later, on July 17, the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) classified the recall as Class II, or 'a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,' per the FDA's website.
