A number of companies are recalling ice cream products after the supplier of cookie dough pieces, Aspen Hills, has had a Listeria contamination issue. The Listeria issue in the cookie dough pieces supplied by Aspen Hills was first discovered by Blue Bell Ice Cream as part of their intensified Listeria control program back in September. In this round of recalls, recalled brands include Weight Watchers, Ashby's Sterling, Cedar Crest Specialties and Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Company
It is hard to determine why there is such a time lapse from the intial Blue Bell Ice Cream recall related to the Aspen Hill cookie dough pieces that occurred in September and these recalls.

Chicago, IL - Weight Watchers Smart Ones Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sundae frozen desserts is voluntarily being recalled due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination from Aspen Hills, Inc. Cookie Dough Pieces.
This issue was identified when Aspen Hills, the supplier of the cookie dough pieces used as an ingredient in Weight Watchers Smart Ones Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sundae frozen desserts, reported positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes. We immediately began an investigation and are voluntarily taking this action as a precautionary measure.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
There have been no consumer complaints or reports of illness related to this issue to date.
The recall is for approximately 100,000 cases of Weight Watchers Smart Ones Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sundae frozen desserts.
No other sizes, varieties or code dates of Weight Watchers Smart Ones products are included in this recall.
