Contaminated Ice Cream and Onions Linked to Deaths
A formal warning has been released by the health authorities following the sale of tainted ice cream.
In various locations around the state of Florida, people who had eaten ice cream were quite ill. This is related to the rising worry over tainted food, since onions have lately been marketed in more than ten states.
The onion poisoning caused two fatalities, and many more people needed to be sent to the hospital in critical condition.

Listeria is a dangerous bacterial illness that can spread through food, and the ice cream was found to have it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Listeria can result in death and cause severe disease.
Big Olaf Creamery goods, which are only offered in Florida, are thought to be the source of the ice cream listeria epidemic. After drinking the ice cream, those who purchased it from a shop or who dined at a Big Olaf restaurant fell seriously ill.
To ensure everyone’s safety, the CDC is currently advising against eating ice cream or any other items from Big Olaf’s until the epidemic has been thoroughly examined.
It is suggested that anyone who has this brand of ice cream throw it away right away.

I think that should read "…outbreak in Fla that killed TWO…"
This comes after onions sold in more than 10 states, mostly Florida, were linked to a new listeria epidemic. The onions have caused major illnesses in about 24 individuals; a mother and her pregnant child also passed away.

Big Olaf asserts that there is no evidence to support the rumor that their ice cream causes listeria infections; they will hold off accepting any proof of this.
Many people who recently had listeria in Florida claimed they had eaten Big Olaf’s before becoming ill, but the restaurant chain claims this doesn’t prove anything.
The company has to take this far more seriously because listeria is a very serious food poisoning that may be fatal.
However, the signs might appear suddenly, which is why there is a distinct pattern of people who ate Olaf’s and subsequently became ill, indicating that the ice cream was to blame.
