The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that a Florida-based creamery’s ice cream is linked to a deadly Listeria monocytogenes bacterial outbreak.

In a statement on Saturday, the agency said that “consumers who have Big Olaf Creamery brand ice cream at home should throw away any remaining product,” noting that Big Olaf Creamery’s products are only sold in Florida. The Epoch Times has contacted the company for comment.
