Recall of All Blue Bell Creameries Products

All products from Blue Bell Creameries has been recalled.

Blue Bell Creameries has announced a recall of all of it's products. ALL OF THEM. So if you have them in your freezer, throw them out immediately.

Blue Bell Creameries tested two samples of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and both tested positive for listeriosis according to WIFR.

Paul Kruse, Blue Bell's chief executive, said the company can't say with certainty how it was introduced to the manufacturing line.

Listeriosis according to the Mayo Clinic is:

Listeria infection is a foodborne bacterial illness that can be very serious for pregnant women and people with impaired immune systems. Listeria infection is most commonly contracted by eating improperly processed deli meats and unpasteurized milk products.

Healthy people rarely become ill from listeria infection, but the disease can be fatal to unborn babies and newborns. People who have weakened immune systems also are at higher risk of life-threatening complications. Prompt antibiotic treatment can help curb the effects of listeria infection.

Listeria bacteria can survive refrigeration and even freezing. That's why people who are at higher risk of serious infections should avoid eating the types of food most likely to contain listeria bacteria.

 

There have already been three deaths at a Kansas hospital and five others have been sickened with the disease.

In your best interest, throw out all Blue Bell Creameries products.
