Multistate Outbreak of Listeriosis Linked to Blue Bell Creameries Products (Final Update)

Posted June 10, 2015 10:30 AM ET

This outbreak investigation is over. However, people could continue to get sick because recalled products may still be in people’s freezers and consumers unaware of the recalls could eat them. Institutions should not serve and retailers should not sell recalled products. Read the Advice to Consumers, Institutions, and Retailers.
