Listeria is found in grazing areas, stale water supplies and poorly prepared animal feed. It can live in the intestines of humans, animals, and birds for long periods of time without causing infection and has been found in up to 5% or more of normal healthy people, usually in the gut. For this reason, exposure to the bacterium is unavoidable.
Blue Bell is the best ice cream on the planet - bar none. The homemade vanilla is quite addictive. Some time ago I could eat nearly a half gallon a week. Needed to get that out of the way before the next remark which is kinda funny in a way in view of their current problems.
Once, a number of years ago, when talking with a colleague about how good/addictive Blue Bell was he remarked “You know Blue Bell has killed more people than Marlboro.”
Miss one of my fav Blue Bell flavors—haven’t seen it in a while, Cherry Almond: cherry flavored ice cream with a almond toffee crunch. Love Banana Pudding too—and... this could go on and on...
Without Whataburger and Bluebell, Texas wouldn’t be Texas anymore. :(
I truly believe this was sabotage-—probably some gay guys who work for Ben and Jerry’s.
