    Ice cream maker Blue Bell recalling all products after finding more listeria.

    Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries is recalling all of its products on the market after two samplings of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream tested positive for listeriosis.

    Blue Bell's chief executive Paul Kruse said in a statement Monday night that the company "can't say with certainty" how the bacteria was introduced to the manufacturing line.

    The company last month issued its first recall after ice cream contaminated with listeriosis was linked to three deaths at a Kansas hospital. Five others in Kansas and Texas were sickened with the disease.

    The foodborne illness was tracked to a production line in Brenham, Texas, and later to a second line in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

    The recall extends to retail outlets in 23 states and internationally.

    Recalling an entire product shipment is horrible, but they shouldn't have relaxed and allowed this to happen.

    I do hope they can recover from it.
    I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes
    Or should I?

    That stuff ain't icecream anyway.

    It seems to me, that it'd be really easy to sabotage food production. A prime target for terrorism, but for some reason nothing has happened. It'd be all too easy.

    Terrorists aren't as smart to pull off something like that. If it involves more than blowing themselves up or shooting random people, it's way beyond their brainpower.

    Forensic Files had an episode about that. So while it's not like the stuff we hear about on the news as often, attacks like that do happen.

    Some illegal immigrants in Los Angeles had an illegal cheese factory, killed like a dozen people. I think it was listeria.
