Blue Bell recalls all products

I'm quite possibly totally wrong but that strikes me as a ludicrous idea.

 

I heard a rumor Blue Bell is sending all employees home with pay for a 40 hour week until they come up with a solution. It sounds like they are fixing to have a major clean up and plant renovations.

 

I saw a Blue Bell truck drive down my street today in Denver

are they back up and running?

 

i imagine blue bell is like many other large companies that distribute products from other companies/competitors.

basically distribution and manufacturing are quite separated.

I've seen rumors that Blue Bell is back up and running again. I've also seen (more probable) reports that Blue Bell will restart production within the next few weeks.

 

major fail.

Blue Bell is not available up north and certainly not Baltimore.
The newspaper machine in the video.....TEXARKANA Gazette.

 

Your satire detector is out of battery

Damn, there goes all their good will.

 

I'm done with Blue Bell. They got the ice cream game ****ed up. Dreyer's slow churned FTW!!!

 

His source for that story was an attorney that makes a living on lawsuits against the industry. He billed him as a food safety expert. The attorney calls himself the "E. coli Lawyer"

 

The lawyer provides some quotes for the article. The main source is an official report released by the FDA.

 

In before people side with blue bell anyway... Oh wait

 

As soon as I heard there were listeria samples found at a second plant, I knew this has been an issue for years, this won't put them out of business though. Even though they have been knowingly putting your children's lives in jeopardy.

 

That's a shame. I'm done with Blue Bell, that behavior is outrageous.

 

Ice cream isn't worth dying for. Especially when their are other brands.

 

Is this affecting anyone else's appetite for ice cream, in general?

I was recently with someone who randomly wanted ice cream, and we weren't even in the Borden/blue bell house brand etc. section. But I didn't even want the organic , premium, advanced flavor combos etc. in the fancy isle. Not consciously, but I assume indirect damage from this fiasco, wasn't interested.

Thanks blue bell. & Obama.
