Wow! Everything from everywhere. There were questions as to whether they could survive the last recall. This is going to be a massive blow to the company. Hopefully, they can pull it together, regroup and move on. There's no better ice cream and this is sad to see it happen to a local hometown favorite.
 
There are 5 listeria patients in Kansas and 3 here in Texas. 4951

This is the first recall in their 108 year history. They have hired a team of microbiologist to completely and thoroughly check all three of their production facilities, as well as a crisis management team to get the company through this trying time. At this time they still do not know how the bacteria entered the Oklahoma production facility, possibly in a third party ingredient. They are being as diligent as possible to correct this problem. They really are very concerned and it's their biggest priority to regain consumer trust. I do have insider information as I have a close relative that works high up within Blue Bell and has worked for them for 25 years. I spoke to him just a few nights ago about this. One thing the media isnt telling is that Listeria really only affects people with weakened immune systems, the very young, very old, and the ill. Most people show no symptoms. I do hope everyone infected recovers fully. It's scary and extremely unfortunate. 4951

Yes. They are pulling everything to be safe, even product codes that test negative. 4951

Apparently the incubation period is 3-70 days. Not to create a panic, but is anyone worried about getting it? I don't eat ice cream, but my kids eat blue Bell single serve ice creams some times twice a day (school and occasionally at home). 4951

It might take 70 days to get the symptoms. 4951

I am not pregnant, a young child, elderly person, or person with a weak immune system.  I could live on Listeria. 4951

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and my favorite dessert is blue bell ice cream sandwiches. So yes, I'm nervous. The baby is strong, so hopefully nothing will happen but my husband is tossing my stash. 4951

Think they will be able to figure out how eating BlueBell has made my butt size increase over the years? 4951

I just hate this.  As a company Blue Bell is one of the best.  I will toss what we have, but as soon as this is over, Blue Bell will be coming back to my freezer.The company can withstand this.  They are a strong company with amazingly loyal customers.And honestly, there isn't a company out there that can touch Blue Bell in flavor or quality.And to know they are having a team of microbiologist go thru their companies is unreal reassuring.
 
@Fallon: I agree!�!!!

I don't buy ice cream that often, but it's Blue Bell when I do. Can't be beat by anyone. Homemade Vanilla is a must have for cobbler and other yummies. 4951
