Coconut-flavored popsicles recalled after tests find Listeria
OLYMPIA - Ca Rem #1 Ice Cream, SeaTac, is voluntarily recalling its coconut-flavored popsicles. The non-dairy frozen dessert may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The recall of the popsicles was initiated after routine sampling and analysis by Washington State Department of Agriculture revealed the presence of Listeria. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this product.
The Ca Rem #1 popsicle is sold in 3 oz. un-coded plastic bags, primarily in Asian food markets and restaurants in western Washington and western Oregon. Consumers who have purchased CA REM #1 popsicles should throw out the product and not eat it. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (206) 720-1887.
"We continue to work with the company to recall all product that is still in stores," said Claudia Coles, manager of WSDA's Food Safety Program. "We know that these desserts can stay in freezers for months, so families should take a second look at what they've been saving for a special treat."
Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with these bacteria may cause listeriosis, a food-borne illness. Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Infected pregnant women may experience only a mild, flu-like illness, but infections during pregnancy can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth.

Tuesday, Jan. 29 8:20 p.m. update: Avalanche threat keeps I-90 Snoqualmie Pass closed until Wednesday morning
SEATTLE – Snoqualmie Pass will remain closed until early Wednesday as crews continue to battle heavy snow. Avalanche crews are going home to get some much needed rest after 18 straight hours of working. They will return in the early morning hours Wednesday to continue triggering avalanches and attempting to make the pass safe for travel.
Overnight crews will continue to clear snow as fast as it falls by using 21 different pieces of equipment to clear the road. Since crews closed the pass at 7:25 a.m. Tuesday, they have removed over one million cubic yards of snow, enough to fill 129,000 dump trucks.
Wednesday morning, after avalanche crews set off explosives at the east snow shed and crews clear the roads, they will again asses the situation. They hope to be able to open the road for travel Wednesday morning, but will not open the road until it is safe for drivers.
“Our avalanche crews have been working non-stop at the pass since early this morning and we need to send them home for a much needed rest," said Chris Christopher, WSDOT State Maintenance Engineer. "Crews will be back at the pass at 3 a.m. tomorrow morning to start battling the snow again."
WSDOT understands that this is a huge inconvenience for those that must travel over I-90. More than 200 trucks are lined up at North Bend waiting to move freight over the pass--we are working to get them safely over the pass as quickly as possible. On typical weekday, approximately 6,500 - 7,000 trucks travel I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass. WSDOT remains in contact with the freight community to keep them informed. Additionally, WSP and WSDOT are escorting residents who live inside the closure points home as it is safe to do so.
Eastern Washington is battling its own problems with blowing snow, high winds and road closures.
