PISTACHIO ALMOND NEXT BLUE BELL FLAVOR TO RETURN TO STORE SHELVES

  

Another flavor has been added to the list of flavors of Blue Bell returning to store shelves.

Monday morning, Blue Bell announced that Pistachio Almond will return to stores this week, following in the footsteps of Dutch Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, and the Great Divide.

Blue Bell said its products will re-enter parts of 15 states in five phases. The first of the five includes the Houston, Brenham and Austin areas, as well as parts of Alabama, including Birmingham and Montgomery.

Other phases include Phase Two, encompassing North Central Texas and southern Oklahoma, Phase Three including Southwest Texas and Central Oklahoma, and Phase Four, the majority of Texas and southern Louisiana.

Phase Five will complete the re-entry plan, including the states of Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas and begin distribution in Arkansas, Florida, northern Louisiana and Mississippi. This phase will also include only parts of the following states:  Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Blue Bell has been working to bring the company totally back on line since recalling all of its products after some of the ice cream was linked to a listeriosis outbreak.
