Wilcox Ice Cream recalls all ice cream, yogurt, ice cream bars, and Leonardo's Gelato
Wilcox Ice Cream made the decision to recall all of their ice cream, yogurt, ice cream bars, and Leonardo's brand gelato that were manufactured on 9/15/23 after one lot of their Super Premium Mint Chip from that day tested positive for potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes. The Vermont Department of Agriculture alerted them of the issue on November 14, 2023.
The recalled products, which include sizes ranging from 4oz cups to 3 gallons, were distributed across Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New York. They have best by/sell by dates ranging from 9/13/24 and 11/14/24.

Customers with recalled products should refrain from consuming them. For a full refund, you can take a photo of the top and sides of the container and email AR@wilcoxicecreamvt.com. Contact Wilcox Ice Cream at 802-375-1133 on weekdays between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM EST for more info.
Luckily, no illness stemming from these products have been reported. However, it's important to be cautious with recalls like this, as listeria infection can pose a significant risk, especially to people with weakened immune systems, young children, elderly people, and pregnant people. Symptoms include fever, headache, nausea, and more.
Life Raft Ice Cream Treats were also recalled recently due to possible Listeria contamination.
