products that contain cookie dough from an Iowa-based supplier. The move announced Monday night comes after Aspen Hills recalled cookie dough supplied to ice cream makers after finding potential listeria bacteria contamination. The Blue Bell recall involves half-gallons and pints of Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Blue Bell Cookie Two Step sold to retailers and three-gallon packages of Blue Bell Blue Monster, Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie and Blue Bell Krazy Kookie Dough
sold to food-service clients. They were produced between Feb. 2 and Sept. 7 and distributed in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Listeria can cause serious, sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and those with weakened immune systems.
The Blue Bell Ice Cream Company is voluntarily recalling products that were made with cookie dough supplied from Aspen Hills, Inc. The recall was issued because there was the potential for the cookie dough to contain Listeria. The company was alerted to the possible contamination by Aspen Hill. There have been no illnesses reported at this time.
“Although our products in the marketplace have passed our test and hold program, which requires that finished product samples from a batch test negative for Listeria monocytogenes before the batch can be released, Blue Bell is initiating this recall out of an abundance of caution. This recall is being conducted in cooperation with the FDA,” said a spokesperson for Blue Bell.
The recall includes the following products produced from Feb 2, 2016 to Sept. 7, 2016
Half gallon and pint sizes sold in retail stores:
- Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Blue Bell Cookie Two Step
Three gallon flavors sold to food service accounts:
- Blue Bell Blue Monster
- Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Blue Bell Krazy Kookie Dough
The products were distributed in 16 states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. According to a press release. consumers are encouraged to not eat the recalled products and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Have you ever had Lucky Charms cereal? If you have, you know that magic of those tiny little marshmallows in the cereal. Well, Krazy Kookie Dough is like someone took those marshmallows and made it into an ice cream flavor. Its buttery and smooth with amazing little "lucky charm" flavored cookie dough bites. This flavor is only available for a few short months every year, and only in pint sizes. It also typically sells out. I'm sick of rocky road, and cherry garcia. I'm sick and tired of the cookies and cream and cheesecake flavors. Krazy Kookie Dough is the most unique and wonderful ice cream flavor. Dont believe me? Try it for yourself. But act quick! It's only here for a little while. But WE CAN CHANGE THAT. Let's get BlueBell to make this ice cream year round so we can enjoy this whenever we please. Thanks for the support.
