Blue Bell Ice Cream Returns After Recall

December 15, 2015

Blue Bell Ice Cream returned to store freezers Monday in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties in Florida and across south and central Alabama.

Blue Bell has been absent from stores since a voluntary recall April 20 due to a listeria outbreak that was linked to 10 illnesses in four states, including three deaths.

For now Blue Bell is producing five flavors of ice cream in the half gallon and pint sizes: Buttered Pecan, Cookies ’n Cream, Dutch Chocolate, Homemade Vanilla and The Great Divide. More flavors will be added in the future. 12-pak Homemade Vanilla Cups and 12-pak Homemade Vanilla and Dutch Chocolate Cups are also available in stores.

    Have written to Blue Bell, just wanting to know when they will have “no sugar added” popsicles and ice cream. We love that stuff and for diabetics it’s the best

    Yes it’s back……$7.20 for half gallon. I love it…but that price will keep me away.
    C”mon Blue Bell….. get that price right.

    I’m gonna rush down to Publix and check on my favorite ice cream. We took their factory tour in Texas last summer and were very impressed.

    Thankfully Blue Bell is finally back & with my favorite, Dutch Chocolate, which has no competition. Hopefully Peppermint will be added before the Christmas season ends.
