Frozen Farmers Sorbet Listeria Recall

Since my husband was diagnosed with a weird irritation issue, he can no longer eat a lot of the things he loved. That list includes tomatoes, wine, spicy food, chocolate, apples, oranges, strawberries and ice cream - essentially anything acidic. At least he can still eat sugar - so candies and cookies and cake are still on the table. So we thought we would try a new brand of sorbet - the Frozen Farmer watermelon sorbet. We got it a couple of weeks ago and he has

had a couple spoon fulls. He didn’t care for it so much and hasn’t really had any more. Then yesterday we received a phone call from the neighborhood Giant grocery store informing us that this sorbet was being recalled because a sample somewhere showed listeria. Considering that we have been dealing with a lot of irritating and annoying health issues lately this was the last thing we needed. So my husband looked up the ramifications of eating this sorbet and potential consequences. It didn’t sound very good but luckily there have not been many, if any, real cases reported. It’s nice that we are informed of the issues, but it’s just another thing to worry about. Hopefully we won’t be affected. Apparently the problem can arise several weeks after the fact. We are hanging on to this pint of sorbet as proof in the event of a problem. That’s what we get for exploring other options. Sometimes it’s just not worth it.
