After recalling nearly all of its ice cream produced in 2014 for possible *Listeria monocytogenes* contamination, Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream has reopened its [tasting room](http://www.snoqualmieicecream.com/tasting-room?ref=foodsafetynews.com) in Maltby, WA. The tasting room is seasonal, reports [KIRO-TV](http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/voluntary-recall-over-local-ice-cream-maker-opens-/nk67d/?ref=foodsafetynews.com), and closed last fall before the Washington State Department of Agriculture found *Listeria* in samples collected from two products and environmental samples from the ice cream plant taken during a Dec. 15 inspection.

Snoqualmie issued a [voluntary recall](http://www.snoqualmieicecream.com/blog/the-scoop/post/snoqualmie-ice-cream-voluntary-recall?ref=foodsafetynews.com) of all ice cream, gelato, custard and sorbet for all flavors and container sizes produced between Jan. 1 and Dec. 15, 2014\. The plant was [shut down](https://www.foodsafetynews.com/dont-let-a-recall-happen-to-you-warns-owner-of-ice-cream-company/) after *Listeria* cases involving two 50-year-old Seattle men were linked to the same strain of *Listeria* found in a sample of the company’s high-protein mix. The facility was sanitized and new equipment installed before the company resumed production in February. Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream’s tasting room reopened May 1.
