After a dairy recall, Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream opened Friday.
Molly Moon’s closed shop Dec. 23 after its dairy partner, Snoqualmie Ice Cream, issued a voluntary recall of all their ice cream, gelato, custard and sorbet products. Molly Moon’s had its milk and cream pasteurized at Snoqualmie Ice Cream.
The recall included all flavors and container sizes produced on or after January 1, 2014 until December 21, 2014 because they said the products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Owner Molly Moon Neitzel told KIRO Radio, for now, the dairy in Lynden, Wash. is pasteurizing the milk and cream.
She doesn’t have the final tally, but estimates the loss to be somewhere around $57,000.
“I’m hoping our community will come back and support us, as usual, and by the end of the year, we will have forgotten about it.”
Neitzel said they paid all their employees for the shifts they would have worked and potential tips.
Molly Moon’s, with six locations in Seattle, is touting its seasonal flavors: eggnog ice cream, chocolate orange ice cream, clementine sorbet, and vegan salted caramel ice cream.
Reports say Snoqualmie Ice Cream is still undergoing extensive sanitation.
