DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO INVESTIGATE LISTERIA ISSUES AT BLUE BELL

  

The Department of Justice has launched an investigation into Blue Bell Creameries after their ice cream was linked to a deadly listeria outbreak earlier this year.

An FDA investigation found listeria in all three of Blue Bell's production plants following the outbreak and records indicate the company knew one plant was contaminated at least as early as 2013.

According to CBS television, several Blue Bell employees report less than sanitary conditions on the factory floor

In April, Blue Bell shut down three production facilities and recalled all ice cream. Production has since resumed, and all of the ice cream should be back on the shelves in fifteen states.
