Blue Bell Scare- Mackenzie McGregor 6th period

Recently, Blue Bell has been forced to temporarily shut down a plant in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The plant was discovered to have traces of the bacteria listeria in the 3 oz. servings of the southern ice cream. It was first discovered that Blue Bell had a listeria issue in April 2014 when a 3 oz. cup was discovered to have had listeria in it. This is the first recall ever in the company's history. Now it's great to know that Blue Bell has been on top of any health threats, but the company must now work to discover the source of the outbreak to prevent further instances.

  1. So sad! Blue Bell has been such a traditional ice cream for so many years and i hope they fix their problem soon because i would hate for this long standing company to disappear because of a minor issue.

  2. This is strange. They probably haven't changed the way they make ice cream, so it must be a problem with the environment.
