Wait, again? I could have sworn the exact thing happened just two weeks back, but they had gotten back on their feet after a recall. Their ice creams were pulled from everywhere around, but were put back in just a week later.

It is not looking good......the bells toll for you......I am so sorry....

It is a raw deal I know but that is just the way the cookie crumbles I am afraid. I bet it tasted good dough.

Blue bell had been pulled from my local grocery store for weeks now. I guess your grocery stores don't care about your health!

Link isn't loading and thread is pretty low on info. What's the issue with the ice cream? What are some of the harmful effects of the issue?
Click to expand...
Listeria

Meningitis, brain abscess, etc stuff. Mostly only affects pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems.

My hospital withdrew the ice cream after the recall and switched to another brand. Shame since Blue Bell is amazing.

They thought it was only the product from the Oklahoma factory, they did more testing and found issues with the Texas factory product too. So they are pulling everything just in case. They have a pretty comprehensive plan going forward. This really has to get fixed ASAP, before the summer.

Man, at the grocery store here people were buying Blue Bell like it was going out of style because they just put it back on the shelves.

I heard about the recall and stayed the fuck away from all blue bell. I was extremely ill from food poisoning last year that turned into salmonellosis and c. Diff infection, so I just don't play around with foodborne illness anymore.

I hope that those of you that ate don't suffer any complications.

Yikes. I bought my Dad a pint of Banana Split a week after the recall because it was from a "safe batch." He ate it a few days ago, so... here's to hoping none of the contaminated made it into consumer's hands. It's good that they have actually taken action by doing a complete recall rather than cherry-picking any further. The more risks to be cut down, the better.

Hopefully the people buying in droves return theirs.

No that's pretty much true. But they found other issues too more expansive than first expected. So they just made the call to pull the plug on everything.

Although I'm sure the risk is extremely minimal, it is a good move.

This is probably not the thread for it, but here's a question for Blue Bell customers:

Has their ice cream become really grainy and strangely textured in the last few years? I'm trying to figure out if it's just a matter of the store I buy it from not keeping it at the right temperature or if the quality has declined. The last few Blue Bell ice creams I've purchased have had an odd granular texture.

This has happened to me before but I think it's just an issue of not being kept at the right temperature.

This latest half gallon was fine. Except now I'm dead

My Facebook feed is losing their shit over this lol. I don't snack or eat dessert so this debacle reminded me how much Americans eat ice cream.

Blue Bell is so delicious, though.

I work at a food plant in quality and our manager has been having us beef up our normal testing ever since this started. I can't wait to see his reaction to this news.

Just went to HEB today. They tossed out the bad stuff and ordered new stuff from facilities unaffected by this. Bought an Edward's ice cream pie because I'm a whore for them.

STOP SHITTING ON MY MOTHER'S HEADSTONE
Saw at Kroger they had big signs all over the ice cream section saying "IT'S GOOD, THIS STUFF IS ALL GOOD, IT'S FROM THE BRENHAM FACILITY WHICH IS FINE DON'T WORRY"

i guess this is no longer true

My HEB didn't have it a week, week and a half ago. They they had it, and I imagine now they don't.

I had a sore throat last week. They didn't have Blue Bell and I had to buy the the store brand like a goddamn animal.
