The Nestlé recall is limited to the Drumstick Club 16 Count Variety Pack and 24 count Vanilla Pack, made at the company’s Bakersfield, California, ice cream production facility.

Nestle is recalling a popular ice cream treat is over fears of listeria. No illnesses have been reported, but the company is taking precautions.

Nestlé USA said it’s recalling variety packs of Drumstick ice cream sold at club stores for possible listeria contamination. The recall also applies to individually sold Drumsticks.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children and elderly people with compromised immune systems.

The company found Listeria-contaminated equipment used to make the products at a Bakersfield plant, but Nestle has not found any contaminated products.
