(Kusine)It has not been a great couple of weeks for Blue Bell Creameries, and it’s just gotten worse: A month after the company issued a recall of certain ice cream treats believed to be linked to an outbreak of listeriosis — a recall that kept expanding — the company is now pulling all products off the shelves after two more ice cream samples tested positive for listeria. The company issued a voluntary recall Monday night for all of its products on the market after two chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream samples tested positive for the potentially deadly bacteria. Again, it’s not just ice cream that is being recalled — it includes frozen yogurt, sherbet and frozen snacks distributed in 23 states as well as internationally, because those items “have the potential to be contaminated,” the company says. In a video statement, Blue Bell’s CEO Paul Kruse said the company “cannot say with certainty” how the listeria was introduced to its facilities. “We are heartbroken over the situation and apologize to all our loyal Blue Bell fans and customers,” Kruse said, adding later, “We’re committed to doing the 100% right thing, and the best way to do that is to take all of our products off the market until we can be confident that they are all safe.” Retailers like Sam’s Club, Walmart, H-E-B, Kroger and other grocers decided to remove Blue Bell products in recent weeks.
