Thank god the free market can regulate itself to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen.

Never seen Blue Bell in NY before, but now I'm really glad I don't.

Blue Bunny is not a part/division/something of Blue Bell is it?

 

[highrider]

Always makes me think of the atrocious kitchens on kitchen nightmares, and it's disturbing to see that it scales to any size operation.

Heck no, how could it be? Blue Bunny is awful.

My grandpa is going to be crushed. He lives right down the street from the Blue Bell plant or whatever here in OK and can't get enough of, like, Tin Roof flavor or something? Anyway, I'll have to get him a sympathy card.

 

[zashga]

As a one-time Texan, this is heartbreaking. I should probably make sure my parents know about this so they don't buy Bluebell once it makes it back to stores. Bluebell always did a good job projecting the image of a wholesome local business, but... guess not.

Also, the one time I tried Talenti it was a solid brick of ice. I've had good gelato before, but that isn't it.

Still reading through the findings. From Oklahoma:

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah...I think my famine for the stuff just went permanent.

Anyone else make a Black Walnut ice cream good enough to slap your mamma and not whip it full of air?

 

[FStop7]

But... Blue Bell was always trash...

 

[jstevenson]

used to like blue bell, but in a world of Jeni's, McConnell's, Salt and Straw and others... no real need or love for it anymore

 

[cajunator]

Ill go back to Bluebell because no other company wants to make creole cream cheese.
they are all failures.

 

[daegan]

Nobody up here carries Blue Bell but Jeni's also had a recall and the wait for it to come back is REAL

 

[RastaMentality]

Nope. The day Blue Bell is back on the store shelves, people will be right there buying it. Too many people grew up on it and were exclusively Blue Bell consumers. Many people around here are willing to forgive anything as long as Blue Bell is back. Wouldn't be the first time a brand was accused of doing heinous things that effected customers, but people went right back.

It's almost like the recall has made some people want it even more now.

I work primarily in food photography, so I've had a lot of experience in food service, and being in some great kitchens and a number of plants. I'm not an employee of Blue Bell. I have been on the floor of the Brenham, TX plant personally on a few occasions from 2008-2013, and saw nothing out of order. Seemed very clean, even by dairy standards. I'd have no problem going back to Blue Bell after they clean up and correct the problems found in the report.

User name is a little suspicious, might have a BB mole here.

If they pass inspections again I will buy again.
however recently I have been going to Yogurtland across the street from my work whenever I get a sweet tooth so it will be less frequently.

It is really surreal here in houston to see stories of the townsfolk praying for blue bell. not praying for the workers, but for the company itself.

Im pretty sure s lot of people with a love of certain companies will do all sorts of irrational things to preserve its standing in their lives. Look at gaming side for a billion examples.

Would you say...it was in pristine condition?
