Blue Bell Creameries issues recall of all products

Live Link

Blue Bell Creameries recalled all its products on Monday night after two samples of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream tested positive for listeriosis. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention linked Blue Bell ice cream contaminated with listeriosis to three deaths at a Kansas hospital. Five others in Kansas and Texas were sickened with the disease.

This is related to AP Government because we are currently discussing the bureaucracy, which includes the CDC and other regulatory agencies responsible for making sure products on the shelf are safe for consumption.

I agree with the CDC's and Blue Bell's decision to recall. It is important that no more risks are taken concerning the health of the consumer.

  1. This is very serious subject. I love ice cream, but I do not eat Blue Bell. This is very serious in the fact that kids died eating the amazing desert that is ice cream.

  2. Anthony this was a very good blog. I agree with you and Blue Bell that it was a good idea recalling all their products until they figure out what's going on because this is extremely serious.

  3. I think it's a good idea by Blue Bell to recall its ice cream back. They obviously need to figure out what is wrong with their ice cream and fix it.

  4. I agree with you that the Blue Bell made the right decision by recalling all of the products, this is a good idea because it eliminates the risk of more people getting sick from the contamination.
