Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream Responds to FDA Warning Letter
Earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to a Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream manufacturing plant in Columbus, OH because they had uncovered Listeria in the facility. Yesterday, Jeni’s Ice Cream issued a joint statement in the form of a blog post from quality leader Mary Kamm, along with CEO John Lowe and Jeni Britton Bauer herself. That statement in its entirety reads:
We received a Warning Letter from the FDA following their January inspection of our facility. We are happy to get to the next stage with the FDA, and we appreciate that the FDA went to the unusual step of noting in the letter the significant work and changes we made since we first learned of a Listeria issue back in April 2015. We have seen some initial news coverage of the letter, and thought it would help to put it in context.
