Life Raft Treats recall: Reason, affected products, and other details explored

Life Raft Treats has issued a nationwide recall for its Not Fried Chicken buckets, Life is Peachy ice creams, and Not Fried Chicken bars over Listeria monocytogenes contamination concerns. If consumed, the contaminated products may pose the risk of serious sickness or infection.

Announced on September 6, the voluntary recall comes right after Life Raft received a heads-up from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environment Control (SCDHEC) notifying the establishment about the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in its Not Fried Chicken ice cream.

As such, the establishment immediately issued a recall for its Not Fried Chicken ice cream and the Life is Peachy ice cream that were made in the same room.

Currently, no illnesses have been reported in regard to consumption of the recalled ice cream products, but consumers are advised to refrain from consuming them. Consumption of Listeria-contaminated food may cause a patient to experience infection-like symptoms such as stiffness in the body, diarrhea, severe headaches, fever, and more.

Patients experiencing any such symptoms after consuming the recalled ice cream products should consult a doctor at the earliest.
