<p>On July 17, the Food and Drug Administration Authority (FDA) announced a Class II recall of several varieties of Rich's Ice Cream bars. Since June 27, over 110,000 cases of the Florida-based ice cream brand's popular treats have been voluntarily recalled due to potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes, the agency said.</p>
<p>There are several Rich's Ice Cream varieties included in the recall including the brand's Chocolate Crunch Cake Bars, Strawberry Shortcake Bars, Rich Bars, Crumbled Cookie Bars, Orange Cream Bars, Fudge Frenzy Bars, Cotton Candy Twirl Bars, Savagely Sour Blue Raspberry Bars, Savagely Sour Cherry Bars and Cool Watermelon Bars.</p>
<p>The potentially affected bars were distributed in several states: Florida, California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, Arizona, Alabama, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Iowa, South Carolina, Oregon, Oklahoma, Nevada, Louisiana and Nebraska. They were also sold in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.</p>

<p>No illnesses have been reported due to the Class II recall as of writing, and the status is currently "ongoing," according to the FDA.</p>
<p>A Class II recall is "a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," according to the FDA, "or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."</p>
<p>Listeria monocytogenes "is a type of disease-causing bacteria that can be found in many places, including soil, water, sewage, rotting vegetation, and animals," and "can survive and grow even under refrigeration," according to the FDA.</p>

<p>When individuals consume food contaminated with the bacteria, they can develop listeriosis, with symptoms varying in severity.</p>
<p>"For the less severe, non-invasive listeriosis, mild symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur, and often persists for 1 to 3 days," the FDA website states.</p>

<p>"For the more severe, life-threatening invasive form of the disease, symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions," the agency says. "Invasive listeriosis is a potentially life-threatening event, especially for newborns, adults over the age of 65, and those with weakened immune systems."</p>
<p>The FDA also advises consumers who suspect they have developed symptoms resembling a listeriosis infection to contact a healthcare provider.</p>
