Blue Bell just got another boost in its climb back to ice cream supremacy, as the FDA has officially identified a third-party cookie dough supplier as the source of Litsteria contamination that prompted a recall late last year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Wednesday that its investigation of a multi-state outbreak of listeria linked to Blue Bell Creameries is complete, but warned that some customers may still be at risk.
Before I moved to Texas in 2002, it was already common knowledge in my home state of Louisiana that Blue Bell Ice Cream is the ONLY ice cream a Texan should (and will) consume, as we too were fans of its delicious goodness. When the company decided to recall all its products, I found it weird that we all felt some sort of "sadness".
