"Brushed soft serve" of frozen yogurt cups rated by individuals as possible reason for Listeria outbreak
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a Listeria outbreak — possibly linked to Genuine Fit "Delicate Serve In Hurry" frozen yogurt cups — that was feared to have spread north of 20 U.S. states.
Two individuals were hospitalized in New York and Pennsylvania after eating from "Delicate Serve In Hurry" frozen yogurt cups, the CDC said.
The patients contracted listeria caused by listeriosis, a possibly dangerous infection that was welcomed by the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.
Eating spoiled food opens the individual up to the microorganism. The stakes for severe illness and death from Listeria contamination are highest in infants, pregnant women, individuals over 65 years of age, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
"CDC is concerned that the frozen yogurt under review was served somewhere around one long-term care facility where many residents are 65 years of age or older or may have weakened secure frameworks," the organization said in a statement. "That makes them exceptionally sick with Listeria."
One of the patients who presented to the emergency room with listeriosis commented that he had consumed a cup of "Delicate Serve In hurry" frozen yogurt from the Brooklyn, New York, brand of Genuine Fit Frozen yogurt before becoming ill. After looking through the individual's cooler, health inspectors found L. monocytogenes in a cup of frozen yogurt.
Many individuals, especially if they are not at one of the larger gambling gatherings, recover from listeriosis without clinical consideration and are not suspected of L. monocytogenes, the CDC said, adding that the way such episodes are investigated "the actual number of extirpated individuals in of this outbreak is reasonably higher than the reported number and the episode may not be limited to states with known disease."
The Food and Medication Organization (FDA) says that while specialists are still determining whether the microorganism found in the cooler matches the outbreak, the frozen yogurt maker has denied any possible contamination.
The UPC (General Item Code), which is expressed in the FDA's explanation, can be used to distinguish the reviewed frozen yogurt cups that were sold in 20 states. The CDC said items are also being sent to Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
All "Delicate Serve In a Rush" Frozen Yogurt Cups made with Original Legitimate Frozen Yogurt through August 4th are FDA approved. "The organization has stopped the creation and distribution of the item as the FDA and the organization continue to investigate what caused the problem," the agency said in a statement.
The CDC stressed that individuals should refrain from consuming the "Delicate Serve In rush" frozen yogurt cups while the investigation continues. All of these items that are in individuals' homes should be discarded or returned to the discount store because L. monocytogenes can live in sub-freezing temperatures. Medical clinics, organizations, and telecare offices should be careful not to sell or serve frozen yogurt cups.
After consuming frozen yogurt, seek medical attention immediately if you experience any side effects of listeriosis, such as fever, muscle aches, exhaustion, brain pain, stiff neck, restlessness, loss of balance, or seizures.
The side effects of listeria often appear a fortnight after consuming the dirty food, in any case they can once in a while show up that day or as late as ten weeks.
