COLUMBUS, Ohio – The founder of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams hints the Columbus-based company is ready to “fire up” production again by the end of this week.
On her Facebook page, Jeni’s founder Jeni Britton Bauer writes: “It’s been a flurry of activity this past week in our production kitchen. We removed walls, set up foot foaming stations; we now have a conveyor belt! We examined and reworked every single process. Thanks to the team from around the country who made it work alongside the tireless army that is #teamjenis. We plan to fire this baby up by the end of the week. “Mr. Sulu, stand by to take us to maximum warp.”
The company was forced to close stores and recall products last month after listeria was detected in a batch of its ice cream in Nebraska.
There were no reports of illness.
