Blue Bell again recalls ice cream over Listeria concerns
Source: Dallas Morning News
One year after Texas-born Blue Bell returned its ice cream to store shelves following a system-wide recall, the iconic brand is recalling "select products," again due to Listeria concerns.
Brenham-based Blue Bell is voluntarily recalling some products produced in its Sylacauga, Alabama, plant "because they were made with a chocolate chip cookie dough ingredient supplied by third party supplier Aspen Hills, Inc., due to the potential for it to contain Listeria monocytogenes," Blue Bell said late Wednesday.
The Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Blue Bell Cookie Two Step ice cream was not distributed in Texas but was sold in 10 mostly southern states including Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia.
The announcement comes days after Blue Bell returned to parts of North Carolina and South Carolina, two states that are included in the recall.

The good news is that they identified the cause quickly and it is related to a third-party supplier rather than a problem within the creamery.

They recalled it, returned it(?), and are recalling it again.
That's persistence.
I think (I hope) I knew what they intended to convey, but I'm gonna stay with the store brand for the time being.
