SAN ANTONIO – Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries, which stopped production and distribution of ice cream to 25 states in April after the discovery of listeria bacteria, said on Friday that listeria was discovered again in a production facility.
The company did not specify in a statement in which of its three facilities listeria had been found but said that none was found in any of its ice cream. Blue Bell said it is moving to eliminate the bacteria through a "seek and destroy" process.

O.G.N.T.S.A.
Why are they still in business? Should have packed up bags long ago (and re-opened with a new name). No goodwill or reputation in that name.
You aren’t a real Texan.
That was my thought. At this point. Let Blue Bell keep whatever goodwill remains for this label, and diversify with new names for old products. Something has to change dramatically, this time. maybe the leadership.
You can't judge all Blue Bell ice cream based on a few samples of Listeria. Only 0.1% of all containers of Blue Bell contain Listeria, but that's no reason to remove all of them off of the shelves. That would be profiling.
cannot rule out intentional inoculation. sounds fishy
You never know, the Chipolte in town was jammed today. Some folks just figure it won’t happen to them.
Damn, I’ll never get my favorite flavor, Moolinium Crunch, back at this rate!
Listeria is tough to get rid off once there before.
“You aren’t a real Texan.”
No $h*t.
Almost makes you think someone is targeting them.
I don’t think I can ever feel good about Chipotle again. Blue Bell was a maybe until this development. I wonder if someone is targeting them.
I better stock up. It was a long summer.
Yep...... but finally got blue bell butter pecan up to the Panhandle ! Yeehah !!
Not gonna' lie, I'd love to end up in Texas some day. And one of my favorite parts will be detailing my Hiberno-Yankee, blue-belly heritage to my new neighbors, and then adjusting my spankin' new cowboy hat just so as I say, "but that was before, I'm a Texan now."
Like 9/11, the first plane hits, and you think, "What's going on?"
The second plane hits, and then you knew what was going on.
I live in New Mexico, and with all the great Mom and Pop places, I don’t see how Chipolte survives.
