Not sure if this should be on the $$$ board or not, so i'm putting it here

Blue Bell Creameries will lay off more than a third of its workforce following a series of listeria illnesses linked to its ice cream that prompted a nationwide recall of all its products, the Texas company announced Friday.
quote:
Blue Bell CEO and President Paul Kruse called the decision to layoff and furlough workers the "most difficult one I have had to make" as head of the company.
quote:
The layoffs come after the company signed agreements on Thursday with health officials in Texas and Oklahoma detailing steps the company will follow to resume production of ice cream products. No timeline has been set for when Blue Bell will resume production.

keeping production going despite listeria warnings was pretty easy though. The workers should lose their jobs for your stupidity no doubt

The News: When you learned of the existence of Listeria in your plant, apparently as far back as in 2013, why didn’t the company move then to test its food supply to see if the ice cream was contaminated?
Blue Bell: It’s important to note that the listeria found in 2013 through Blue Bell’s internal testing and referenced in the most recent FDA report was not found in ice cream, but was found on non-food surfaces — surfaces that do not come in direct contact with the ice cream product.
Several swab tests did show the presence of Listeria on non-food surfaces in Blue Bell’s Broken Arrow plant in 2013. As is standard procedure for any such positive results, the company would immediately clean the surfaces and swab until the tests were negative.
