I think they had to close the whole factory and they are still cleaning, they don’t know when they will reopen.
There are four factories; two in Texas, one in Oklahoma and one here in Alabama. ALL of them closed to clean them and please the feds that the ice cream is safe.
It’s really too bad, as it is my favorite ice cream, specially Blue Bell Banana Split (yum!), but I’d rather not die of Listeria, either.
