Blue Bell Ice Cream Recall

[mrjarrell]

If you have any of the ice cream from them you need to check the date code on the bottom and if the date code is followed by the letters O, P, Q, R, S or T, then you should dispose of it. Listeria is not a good add in to ice cream or anything else. Definitely a case of better safe than sorry. Blue Bell has already closed down the plant to try and disinfect it, so they are taking it seriously.

Bummer, Blue Bell Ice Cream is some good stuff. I like it far too much. Had some last night, as a matter of fact. So far so good, can't wait to get home and check the code on the bottom of the 3/4 empty container.

We have 4 1/2 gallon tubs at home. Don't judge - they were bought on sale as preps for a combined birthday party for our two kids.

Thankfully none of the 4 are so-marked with the O, P, Q, R, S or T.

Very very thankful.

Turns out it was Dreyer's, not Bluebell. Forgot that last ice cream buy was in a convenience store that only stocks Dreyer's, not at HEB. All is well in the household.

Looks like the Blue Bell recall has been expanded to ALL products now. If you have any you might want to return them for a refund.

I guess I've been talking "bug out bag" more than I thought. This morning my nine year old step daughter says, "People could just boil it (blue bell) to kill the germs, then eat it... right?"

Goodbye annoying singing guy commercials...

Not cool. Not cool at all.

Yikes! This outbreak may have been ongoing for the last 5 years or so. Glad I usually buy Hagen Daz or Graeters.

I love Blue Bell. I don't like the commercials though.

Anyway I think we have some in the freezer now. Have to check the dates.

The dates don't matter anymore. They expanded their recall to ALL of their products, not the limited amount they started with a couple of weeks ago.

There's going to be a problem if I can't have my Pecan Pralines.

Returned my two half gallon containers last night.

Store credit for $9.98.

I bought beer. And Meijer brand ice cream.

Been to the creamery several times, my inlaws live not too far from there. Nice tour if you get the chance. We have 6 half gallons in the freezer, I tried each one and didn't taste any listeria. Willing to bet this was some sort of corporate spy from the crappy bryers corporation.

Its the 70 day dormant/incubation period that bothers me. We are (were) a BlueBell only household... countdown clock running !

Symptoms usually occur within 30 days - but up to 70 - that's a long time to wonder. April 11 was last time we consumed - so if you don't hear from me by june 21 - send help

My wife read something about Jenny's being affected now too. The two companies have no affiliation and Jenny's is a pretty small market. Really makes me wonder about which company with declining sales sent someone out to sabotage the better product

Or probably a common ingredient sourced from the same place?
