With not one carton of its products remaining on store shelves, Blue Bell Creameries is embarking on a fresh start by initiating an intensive cleaning and training program at all its production facilities that were closed following an outbreak of Listeriosis, which was linked to the company’s ice cream products.
On Monday, the company said it had begun the initiative by conducting a new training program for its employees at all four production facilities located in Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas. Blue Bell made the decision after a thorough review of its operations and consulting with an expert microbiologist.
