Listeria outbreak at an ice cream parlor where employees were unable to wash their hands

Behind a major outbreak of Listeria in the United States, workers at a “handmade” ice cream maker in Florida, Big Olaf Creamery, had nowhere to wash their hands before coming to work.

This conclusion comes from an FDA investigation into the spread of Listeria: The bacterium killed one person and hospitalized 27 people in more than 11 American states last year.

“We found that there were no sinks outside of the manufacturing area for employees to wash their hands at before entering,” the FDA wrote in its report.

The FDA investigation also uncovered a number of other issues at the manufacturer that contributed to the outbreak, including the lack of a written food safety plan.

The FDA visited the facility 14 times during its investigation.

It was also found that the manufacturer failed to ensure that people were qualified to “perform their assigned duties and have records documenting food hygiene and safety training”.

The organization also found that the facility had been re-contaminated with Listeria while an initial outbreak was still ongoing last July.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Listeria is a bacterial infection caused by eating contaminated food.

According to the CDC, pregnant women, people over 65, and those with compromised immune systems are most at risk.

Symptoms can resemble common food poisoning symptoms, including diarrhea and fever, and most people with these symptoms recover without treatment.

The family business released a statement denying any responsibility.
