Listeria is a food caused infection caused by the bacteria listeria. When infected with listeria, people may not notice. Listeria is responsible for about 260 deaths yearly in the U.S. Infections are more likely for pregnant women. Symptoms last 1 to 3 days. These include fever, muscle pain, flu, nausea, diarrhea. However, sometimes the symptoms will pass to the nervous system.

Moreover,  Breyers Ice Cream Recall created a scare for customers. Other ice creams brands throughout Canada and the U.S. have recalled their ice cream flavours for the risk of listeria. Therefore, it is very important to keep an eye out for the brands of ice cream you are purchasing. For more information on listeria, read more here

Breyers Ice Cream is a fan favourite, but now people are more aware. Further, Breyers has created a page on their website that lets customers track exactly what is in each flavour. Therefore, this has saved the brand from harm of their image. Customers find this page helpful, especially if they have certain allergies.

All food brands need to be specific of everything that goes into their products. It is important to consumers to be able to track their intake. When Canada released the regulation of stating calories on the menu, consumers were very happy.
