Various sweet treats have faced recalls in the past several months.

The Independent explained:

As noted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listeria is a “bacteria that can contaminate many foods,” with infections caused by eating food with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. Although symptoms can vary, a listeria infection “can cause invasive illness and intestinal illness.”

Listeria infection is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States, killing roughly 260 people per year.

The ice cream bars aren’t the first frozen treat to be recalled in the U.S. this summer. Last month, 6,668 cases of Breyers Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream were voluntarily recalled by Unilever Manufacturing, after it was found that the tubs actually contained Rocky Road ice cream.

The Chocolate Truffle flavor has an allergen label that reads “may contain tree nuts,” while the Rocky Road flavor declares almonds as one of the ingredients. The cause for the recall was “undeclared allergens and mislabeled product.”

In May, Wells Dairy issued a recall on more than 17,000 tubs of 22 different types of ice cream and frozen yogurt treats, citing the possible “presence of plastic” in these products.
