Dog Bites Man, Gets Listeria

Here's a big fucking surprise: Ice cream maker Blue Bell, which runs such shitty operations they had to be shut down for cleaning due to listeria infestation

HOUSTON - Blue Bell says it is temporarily ceasing operations while workers undergo new system training.

Blue Bell has been producing ice cream this week for testing only. This will end on Friday and the ice cream will not be sold.

Starting Monday, the plant will be training employees at all four Blue Bell locations on new, intense cleaning procedures. The plant will not be producing ice cream during this time. It is unclear how long the training will take.

There is not a timeline for when Blue Bell products will be back on the shelves. "We've always worked to make the very highest quality ice cream," said Blue Bell CEO and President Paul Kruse. "We intend to make a fresh start and that begins with intensive cleaning and enhanced training. This is a paradigm shifting event at Blue Bell and we want to put in place new systems to drive continuous improvement."

is a big contributor to, shall we say, reactionary causes.

"We don't need no stinkin' regulations," CEO & President A. Hitler concluded.
