Blue Bell Expands Ice Cream Recall

Blue Bell Creameries is expanding its recall of products made at its Broken Arrow, Okla. plant after additional products tested positive for bacteria known to be a leading cause of deadly food poisoning, the company announced Tuesday. The recall expansion includes the company’s banana pudding ice cream and a host of other products manufactured on the same equipment. Blue Bell ice cream contaminated with listeria, a food-borne bacteria that sickens 1,600 people in the United States annually, has been linked to three deaths at a Kansas hospital this year.
