COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is destroying more than 265 tons of ice cream after listeria was found in the production facility and in products last week.
CEO John Lowe says in a statement Tuesday that the product to be destroyed amounts to 15 tractor-trailer loads on more than 300 pallets. It will cost the Columbus, Ohio-based company more than $2.5 million.
The company said last week that it had recalled all its products from retailers and closed ice cream shops in six states over concerns about possible listeria contamination.
Lowe says a team is working to eradicate the bacteria detected in the production kitchen.
Also last week, Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries closed facilities in three states for intensive cleaning after listeria was discovered.
