blue bell ice cream recall

For those who may not have been paying attention, Blue Bell Ice Cream has issued a recall for some of its ice cream...none sold to the public till now. (All small units sold in bulk to institutions.) Recall is due to three deaths in I forget how many states of listeriosis, which Mummy the Bacteriologist Nerd says is a not-uncommon gut bacteria. She says symptoms would be usual food poisoning crap, and that generally folks with immune system problems would be seriously affected.

Now, however, they're recalling banana pudding in the pint carton sold to consumers, and I see from this article, there's a whole list of things. I only ever eat vanilla, and I vary between Mayfield and Blue Bell. This is from their Broken Arrow, OK, plant, which they have now shuttered until they can get to the bottom of all this.

Geez - not cool.

:Stick Stop sneaking. She is trying to help you.

That's what she claims. :dunno
 
I don't eat ice cream as much anymore, but when I do it's usually the Kroger no sugar added brand.
 
I eat the Kroger no sugar also.
That ain't bad ice cream.
 
I'm sorry - channeling Blondie here, but y'all are Communists! Ice cream without sugar is NOT ice cream!!! It's ice crap! :sick

Maybe so, but I don't get yelled at as much for the sugar free kind.
(plus, I use chocolate syrup when she isn't home)

And now Sabra is recalling 30,000 cases of it's hummus for possible listeria risks. Love me some hummus. Glad I've not purchased any in a while. :D

Luckily it is only for the classic, it could be much worse if it was all the flavors.

For sure. :thumbsup
 
I asked Mother how it could get into a sanitary food production line, and she said most likely it didnt. Her guess is that it came in through a supplier, most likely milk. She said if there was a problem with the pasteurization process then it would carry over to the ice cream plant because they likely wouldn't reheat the milk before making ice cream.
 
Holy cow (pun intended)!!! Blue Bell has now recalled every product from every outlet. All production shut down until they know what is going on.

They can come back - J&J came back from the Tylenol episode and Coca-Cola came back from the New Coke fiasco. But DANG.

Great detail in the story linked below. They said it didn't come from the milk as Mother suspected (assuming the milk was properly pasteurized). Also, recent testing showed it was in more than one plant. Also also, the people in Kansas who got it were already in the hospital and drank milkshakes made with Blue Bell. Man, what a mess.

I've noticed that Edy's Ice Cream is short supply both at Wally World and K-roger.

I prefer Edy's to any other ice cream. Anybody know if anything is going on with them?
 
I feel bad for the company.

Myself, my favorite store bought is Publix light vanilla. I keep my own "fixings" here, to add to the ice cream.
 
They're doing something at Rite Aid
