Nestlé Recalls Drumstick Ice Cream Cones Due to Listeria Risk
Nestlé USA, Inc. issued a voluntary recall on two varieties of their Drumstick ice cream cones because of a positive test for listeria at a manufacturing facility.
About the Nestlé Drumstick Ice Cream Recall

No positive results for listeria have been found in Drumstick products thus far. In addition, no illnesses have been reported in relation to the recalled products. Consumers are urged to not consume the recalled products and to return them to the place of purchase for a replacement or refund.
