A popular gelato brand in New York City has issued a voluntary recall of several flavors due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness, particularly in pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Health officials warn that consuming the affected products could pose a risk of infection, with symptoms including fever, muscle aches, and in severe cases, hospitalization. The recall follows testing that identified the bacteria in specific batches distributed across the city. Consumers are advised to check their purchases and dispose of any recalled items to prevent exposure.
