FDA Issues Risk Warning for Ice Cream Recalled in 23 States
Rich Ice Cream Co., based in Florida, issued a voluntary recall for numerous lots of its products on June 27 over potential contamination with Listeria Monocytogenes.
On July 17, the FDA issued a Class II risk classification for the recall.
Newsweek contacted Rich Ice Cream Co. for comment via its website outside regular working hours.
Listeria infection, or listeriosis, may lead to a range of symptoms in infected individuals. For those experiencing less severe infections, symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which often last between one and three days, the FDA said.
For more severe and potentially life-threatening infections, symptoms may include headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Severe infections are particularly dangerous for young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. It can also lead to miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
According to the FDA, a Class II risk classification refers to a situation in which the "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."
The products affected by the recall include these:
Chocolate Crunch Cake BarStrawberry Shortcake BarRich BarCrumbled Cookie BarOrange Cream BarFudge Frenzy BarCotton Candy Twirl BarSavagely Sour Blue Raspberry BarSavagely Sour Cherry BarCool Watermelon Bar
The lot numbers of the affected products are 24351 through 25156, and a total of 110,292 cases were affected.
The products were distributed to the following states: California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Virginia, Arizona, Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Iowa, South Carolina, Oregon, Oklahoma, Nevada, Louisiana, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
They were also distributed to Nassau in the Bahamas.
Mary O'Riordan, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan Medical School, previously told Newsweek: "Listeria has an unusual capacity to grow at refrigerated temperatures. Although the bacterium can contaminate many types of food, cheeses or deli meats that are kept in cold storage for long periods in stores or at home are a place where listeria can keep growing.
"Early symptoms of listeria infection look similar to other common foodborne infections, including fever, diarrhea and vomiting, so it's often not diagnosed right away. Unfortunately, sometimes listeria can spread into the brain and cause more serious illness, like meningitis. In those cases, if people experience headache, stiff neck or confusion, they should seek urgent medical attention."
Haley F. Oliver, a professor of food science at Purdue University, previously told Newsweek: "Listeria monocytogenes is a common microorganism that can be found in the natural environment, for example in soil. There are many factors that determine if someone gets listeriosis—a listeria infection. In most instances, an immunocompromised person—so young, old, pregnant or otherwise immunocompromised—must eat contaminated food. The number of bacteria resulting in infection and the amount of time before illness varies considerably. Symptoms vary among people but can include fever, flu-like symptoms, headache, stiff neck, confusion and loss of balance."
The FDA says on its website: "Pregnant women and their unborn or newborn baby, adults over the age of 65, and those with weakened immune systems, are all considered to be high-risk groups that are susceptible to the serious and adverse effects of listeriosis."
The recall is listed as ongoing, according to the FDA. Customers who purchased the affected products should not consume them.

New at-home lab test gives postpartum mothers real answers—before the six-week checkup
A postpartum care revolution that finally puts moms first. America's postpartum experience is broken. By the time a mother finally sees her OB at six weeks postpartum, she's already endured some of the hardest weeks of her entire life with little medical oversight. In my case, after my first child was born I was in excruciating urethra pain that I thought was normal, because there was no doctor's visit to catch it. For other moms, postpartum depression plagues their first few weeks of motherhood. Other women experience the crisis of postpartum preeclampsia without medical oversight, trying to determine if their symptoms are normal or intervention-worthy. What if moms were screened far before a medical crisis occurs postpartum? That's the promise behind a new innovation from Trellis Health: the first FDA-cleared, at-home postpartum lab panel designed specifically to catch health issues before they spiral. Created by moms for moms, this tool fills a critical gap in maternal healthcare and provides medically actionable insights. Related: This new at-home program is redefining postpartum care for moms The postpartum data cliff is real—and dangerous Here's the current reality: Women receive rigorous testing throughout pregnancy. But once the baby arrives, all that data collection… disappears. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the first 40 days after giving birth are critical to a mother's long-term health—yet our system treats them like a footnote. Roughly 1 in 5 mothers will experience a postpartum mood disorder. Up to 10% will face thyroid dysfunction. Half of women with gestational diabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within five years. Yet many won't receive a single lab test between delivery and the standard six-week checkup. 'We test hundreds of biomarkers during pregnancy. Then we test nothing,' said Trellis Health co-founder and CEO Dr. Estelle Giraud. 'That's a healthcare failure.' A test designed for the way moms actually live For $239 (HSA/FSA eligible), the Trellis test offers a finger-to-fridge solution: a painless blood collection patch you stick to your upper arm. In ten minutes, it collects a sample to analyze more than 30 biomarkers—from thyroid function and hormone levels to inflammation and cardiovascular risk. Results arrive within 3–4 days and integrate directly into the Trellis app, which serves as a digital 'care in your pocket' with asynchronous midwife support and a full health timeline. 'Six weeks is a perfect moment to catch things like nutrient deficiencies before they spiral into fatigue, mood, and lactation issues,' Giraud said in an interview with The Bump. Related: Why nutrition is the missing piece in postpartum care Why this is a lifeline For moms managing naps, cluster feeds, and toddler tantrums, the idea of booking labs, securing childcare, and making it to a clinic is often laughable. And for those with limited healthcare access—rural families, single moms, uninsured patients—Trellis could be the only lab work they receive during this vulnerable window. 'I had gestational diabetes, and this was easier than my CGMand this is easier than my CGM [Continuous Glucose Monitoring]—the whole process was simple and so straightforward,' said beta tester Amara Bell. Experts urge thoughtful use—but recognize its potential Dr. Christine Greves, an OB-GYN at Orlando Health Women's Institute, told The Bump she's excited by the test's proactive potential, especially since over half of maternal deaths occur after delivery and most are preventable. But she also cautions that hormone levels in postpartum bodies are naturally in flux and that test results should always be interpreted in partnership with a trusted provider. In other words: Data is powerful—but it's still just a starting point. A test—and a message—that puts women in charge This test is a wake-up call for a healthcare system that treats birth like a finish line instead of a starting point. For too long, postpartum recovery has been framed as a private struggle. Moms are told to 'listen to their bodies' but given no tools to actually understand them. Trellis flips that script by putting clinical-grade insight into a mom's own hands. What you can do now: Bring this data to your six-week checkup: Ask about iron, thyroid, and vitamin D levels. Request follow-ups if anything feels off. If you're pregnant or postpartum you can pre-order the test at Financial hardship options are available; email support@ to apply. Advocate for systemic change: Paid leave, universal postpartum check-ins, and real investment in maternal health shouldn't be optional. Because 'just tired' should never be the answer when something deeper is going on. Sources: New At-Home Lab Test Closes Gap In Postpartum Care. 2025. Forbes.

Freeze dried fruit sold at Sam's Club recalled due to listeria
Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions, LLC is recalling boxes of Member's Mark freeze dried fruit due to potential listeria contamination, which can lead to serious illness. In an alert Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the company discovered the problem affecting some 15-count boxes of "Member's Mark Freeze Dried Fruit Variety Pack" after internal product testing. So far, no illnesses have been reported. The recalled boxes are marked with UPC 1 93968 50900 2 and included varied lot codes and use-by dates, which can be found listed on the FDA's website. The product was distributed between July 1 and July 25, 2025, and sold in Sam's Club retail stores in 42 states, which are listed below. Officials are urging people not to eat the product. Consumers should discard it and visit any Sam's Club for a full refund, the FDA says. Listeria infections are caused by eating food contaminated with a bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes. Symptoms can include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, the FDA said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that people may also experience a stiff neck and flu-like symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue. Some people are at higher risk of severe cases and even death, including those who are pregnant, newborns, adults 65 or older, and those with weakened immune systems.
