BLUE BELL ICE CREAM RECALL DOES NOT AFFECT TEXAS PRODUCT
Blue Bell Ice Cream has issued a voluntary recall for some of its ice cream containing chocolate chip cookie dough pieces, which has been distributed to ten states—but not in Texas.
Blue Bell says the products were produced in its Sylacauga, Alabama plant and made with a chocolate chip cookie dough ingredient supplied by Aspen Hills, Inc., which could produce Listeria.
The recall covers the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, both pint and half-gallon size, and Two Step products in the half-gallon size, distributed in: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Consumers in those states should not eat the recalled products and are encouraged to return them for a full refund.
No illnesses have been reported.

Thumbs up to Blue Bell for recalling something that could have had listeria. It was actually the cookie dough manufacturer that found listeria in their cookie dough, so Blue Bell decided to recall the product that contained that brand of cookie dough. It is strange that I have not heard of any other ice cream company recalling or the cookie dough that is sold in stores. I am sure Blue Bell is not the ONLY company that used that cookie dough, yet I still wonder why it is only Blue Bell that gets plastered all over national news.
Not again, and chocolate chip cookie dough was my favorite.
