The ice cream was brand new, a brand, new flavor creation, and therefore not something that sat on shelves at the grocery store for a prolonged period. I checked the packaging for any puncture sites found none, smelled completely normal and two other people in the home did not eat the ice cream, present with any food-borne illnesses or issues during the same time period So I know it was not viral or stomach flu, and was indeed food poisoning related.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever
