BLue Bell Creameries is Back In Production!!!....I Still Dont Trust Them!!!

Today Blue Bell Creameries tweeted the following: "We're busy at our Sylacauga, AL crankin' out ice cream and building inventory." Well, Cole Fowler responded: "@Ilovebluebell do you guys still sell Listeria flavored?" HAHAHAHAHA That was such a good read!!!!!!  Hopefully, they don't, Cole.

“In FDA testing, more than 99 percent of Blue Bell products had Listeria in it,” Mike Doyle, director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia, tells Yahoo Health. “It was incredible. It wasn’t high levels, but it was there.”

Blue Bell has said its plants have gone through extensive cleaning and decontamination, but is it enough? 

Doyle says it should be. Here’s why: Blue Bell likely had to strip down all of its plant equipment, take it all apart, and fully clean and sanitize everything. That includes getting rid of biofilms, a mucus-like substance that can surround bacteria like Listeria and protect it from sanitizers that would otherwise kill it.

Once that’s completed, the equipment will be tested and re-tested, and the ice cream will be frequently checked and swabbed to make sure it’s listeria-free.

“The FDA has jurisdiction over this, and they’re going to be monitoring the whole thing,” says Doyle. “The FDA is going to be all over these Blue Bell plants for a while.”I sure hope so. But thank God, I live in an area where I don't have to worry about that. hahahaha Blue Bell products are not sold here in California. But if they were, I wouldn't trust it. I haven't bought any Foster Farms chicken ever since they had those 2 plants closed due to salmonella contamination months ago. I may never go back to Foster Farms again. Clearly they were not cleaning their lines like they should have. And I think that is the problem with Blue Bell too. For it to have been in so many of their plants and in so much of their product, I don't think they were cleaning any equipment at all. PERIOD. How else could it have gotten into 99% of it's products??? 99%!!!! Wow!!! That's scary!!!!
