Nestlé USA, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of its Nestlé Drumstick ice cream cones due to fears over listeria risks.
The US Food and Drug Administration announced Nestlé USA, Inc. has initiated a voluntary recall of its Nestlé Drumstick Club 16 count Variety Pack and 24 count Vanilla Pack (with cones marked for easy individual sale) due to a possible health risk. The two pack sizes contain 4.6 fl.oz. cones and were manufactured in Bakersfield, California and distributed nationally. No other production codes, sizes or varieties of Nestlé Drumstick products are affected by this recall.

No illnesses have been reported to date; the company is initiating this recall as a precautionary action to avoid any potential for consumer illness.
The company received positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes (LM) from equipment contact surfaces from a location on the production line where these products are made. There have been no positive test results for LM present in the Drumstick cones themselves.
