Possible bacterial contamination forces Nestle to recall Drumsticks

Nestle, one of the world’s leading nutrition, health and wellness companies, has issued a recall for its Drumstick ice cream after some samples were tested positive for bacterial contamination.

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced that some samples of Nestle’s Drumstick ice cream treats were tested positive for listeria monocytogenes. However, there were no positive test results for bacterial contamination found on any Drumstick cones.

The Vaud, Switzerland-based firm apologized to retailers and consumers for the inconvenience they might have suffered due to the recall.

In a newly released statement, the company said, “The quality and safety of Nestlé products remain our number one priority. We apologize for any inconvenience this action represents for both our consumers and retail customers.”

Listeria monocytogenes makes people ill, and can sometimes cause fatal infections, particularly among kids, old people, pregnant women and others who have weak immune systems.

The affected drumsticks include the 16-count and 24-count packs with best before dates June 2-15, 2017, and June 16-19, 2017. Those who might have already bought the affected Nestle Drumsticks can return them to the store from where they were purchased or call the company for a replacement.
