Soft Serve On The Go Cups were distributed in the states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.

To date, two cases of illness have been reported in this outbreak in two states, New York and Pennsylvania. Both individuals were hospitalized but no deaths have been reported.

The recall is the result of an individual becoming ill and reporting to have eaten this product. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture tested samples of product and one sample tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.
