You might see the words “Blue Bell,” “Recall,” and “Listeria” together in a headline, but don’t worry. Blue Bell Creameries isn’t headed for another long period of sanitization and pulling the ice cream from stores, as it did. This recall is specific to just a few flavors, and the company has linked the contamination to an ingredient from an outside supplier: cookie dough nuggets.
The flavors being recalled are Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Cookie Two Step, both of which include the dough nuggets. Both flavors come in half-gallon containers, while only Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough comes in pints.
What we don’t know yet is whether the dough supplier sells those delicious nuggets to other ice cream companies: if it does, then Blue Bell may have been the first to catch potential contamination, while other creameries don’t have the same stringent testing requirements.
