It’s a sweet treat that we love all year long. But when the weather gets warmer we choose more of this frozen dessert. Beware. This ice cream recalled from North Carolina stores due to health risk. As a matter of fact, officials say it could post a serious infection.
The Recall
5,224 units of Tropicale Foods Helados Mexico Mini Cream Variety Pack has been recalled. The recall was issued after testing on the mango ice cream bars showed they might be contaminated by salmonella. No word yet on what might have caused the contamination. Once that is determined they may be able to prevent this from happening in the future.
This Is What Might Happen
The Food and Drug Administration says salmonella could cause “serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems”. The FDA also says symptoms that you could have salmonella poisoning includes vomiting and abdominal pain. In some rare cases you get severely ill and in rare cases arterial infections could occur.

Think You've Tried "Everything?" How About Everything Bagel Ice Cream
Jeni’s Everything Bagel Ice Cream is back. After dividing the internet last year the flavor makes its much-anticipated return on March 21. Everything Bagel sold out so fast last year that most didn’t get a chance to try it but it’s only available this year while supplies last. But the demand is still there. Since it’s debut it’s been Jeni’s been our most requested, most-searched-for flavor. This time, Jeni’s wants to give everyone a chance to snag a spoonful and weigh in on what they think.
You can argue whether or not this flavor should exist and without trying it I have my doubts! But those who have tasted it say you can’t dispute that it tastes exactly like an everything bagel. Which I do love, a lot. Dense, salty, barely sweet cream cheese ice cream with a buttery streusel (made from scratch in Jeni’s Columbus kitchen) laden with sesame, poppy seeds, onions, and garlic. While I’ve been known to put the Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel seasoning on borderline everything, I’m not sold on this. But I’m intrigued enough to try it for sure. They say Everything Bagel has the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory—and is just plain delicious.
Jeni’s said that the flavor wasn’t created for shock value. The attention and divide actually surprised them. Actually, pairing everything bagel seasoning with ice cream has been done at Jeni’s for years. Everything bagel gravel (or streusel) was first available in scoop shops as a topping in the summer of 2013. In fact, there is even a recipe for that same gravel in the 2014 cookbook, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream Desserts. So creating a flavor featuring the seasonings was an obvious move for the company.
