OT: Greed or ?

[FlourBluffHorn]

Well, Blue Bells shutdown again in Texas and a few other States due to Listeria again, people laid off again that needed a job..etc It would seem to me that of all the money BB makes that they would have State of art plant that would prevent this kind of problems, I think the biggest mistake BB made was to expand out of Texas, we never had this trouble when it was at Brennan only..got to get that money I guess, now the Gov will probably fine their butts from here to Dallas, hopefully no one has died as before...I am learning to live without it even though they brought it back, they gave it to other States before us which I thought was a bad deal cause Texas was the one that made them what they are now.. only thing I can think of is Greed and bad inspector5s or bad employees not keeping the place clean..have to move to another brand I guess, haven't never heard of Ben and Jerry's having probs like this...

Crap!...had to try Blue Bunny....terrible,,,Byers..yuck!...closest to good was HEB brand. I heard that inspectors not only found unsanitary, but it was bad,bad,bad. Certainly not state of the art clean....but that was before during the first shut down. I heard that they had filed criminal charges against some in top management.

Dammit FB...I dont know where you got this, but now I know why the market has had the worst start for the year in history.

People are so picky..... My girlfriend is trying to loose weight.. She'll buy cookies and only eat four and throw the rest away... But first she'll spray them with Raid so she won't dig them out of the garbage later..
Be careful though, ....because she claims the Raid really doesn't taste that bad......

starts kicking her legs in the air....and then in a few minutes she pulls out of it.

Oak Farms is a damn good substitute if they sell it in your area.

Blue Bell is still open. That article just says a statement that they made. They probably want to put their own press out rather than the media twisting it around. It just says their listeria monitoring has found possible locations it is hiding and that their programs are working the way they are intended to. A little biology background for those that don't know, there is no plant that is sterile. Listeria is found everywhere it is not uncommon in the environment.

Since I wrote this I had my Grandson get the old hand crank outa the attic and tomorrow we gonna make some from my wife's grandmothers recipe from 1950, and throw in some Peaches from Fredericksburg, Texas, for good luck. bough a bushel last crop up there and put in freezer I think he will taste diff as the Carnation mi8lk back in 50's was a better can milk than today's, my grandsons are the crankers..LOL they never had Ice cream done this way, that's what kids miss these days, the way ya used to do it before they got what they got, used to be if ya needed to call me , you had to wait till I got home, " The old phone in the hall or on the wall in the Kitchen..LOL!

Anyway I went to Blue Bunnie sugar-free Straw and Cherry, good stuff!

When it comes to ice cream, I like natural real honest to goodness Ice cream made with real milk and real sugar. I only eat Bryers and Haggen Das when I shop at HEB. Most of the ice cream at Whole Foods is pretty legit. There is also this little Chocolate shop here in San Antonio that makes real homemade ice cream. Damn good stuff but cost a small fortune.

there is bacteria in every processing plant in america. it's a problem when it contaminates the product.

don't worry about your meat though. they spray that down with ammonia before it gets to the packaging step. yum!

 

[oldhorn2]

I hope they get it figured out....I just dont like Byres or hagen Das...Probably would be best if I just quit eating the stuff.

 

[Scholz]

Won't be buying any more Blue Bell. The owners trusted the 4th largest ice cream seller in the country to aggys and they're going to drive the company into the ground while killing people along the way.

 

[LonghornMM]

Hopefully Blue Bell will get things straightened out. Love Blue Bell, but HEB brand ice cream is pretty darn good as an alternate.

I have told several people this and they act like I slapped them. I actually prefer the HEB brand Creamy Creations ice cream.
