Lidl is recalling a batch of Gelatelli Coffee & Vanilla Gelato sold at stores in New Jersey and eight other states because of possible listeria contamination.
The recall affects 16-ounce containers of Gelatelli Coffee & Vanilla Gelato with Coffee Sauce & Cookie Pieces, according to a company announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
The affected products were distributed to Lidl stores between July 19 and Oct. 15 in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Washington, D.C.
The product comes in a clear plastic container with a brown lid.
Lidl said the recall was initiated after routine quality testing detected Listeria monocytogenes in a laboratory sample. No illnesses had been reported as of the company’s Oct. 16 announcement.
Listeria can cause serious or potentially fatal infections, particularly in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Infections can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths during pregnancy.
If you or a loved one has suffered losses due to consuming these or any product from Lidl, you may be entitled to compensation. To learn more, contact the experienced attorneys at Breslin and Breslin today.
