from the article:
"In early 2011, a Blue Bell quality control representative created a program to test for listeria, which found the presence of the deadly pathogen. In April of that year, CEO Paul Kruse personally met with the employee and ordered him to stop his testing program. He then ordered another employee to destroy hard copy and electronic records of the positive tests yet continued to ship the product which had been tested positive for listeria."

Yep. Been knowing this for years. What Blue Bell did was horrible. They had problems they knew of and never fixed them.
And everyone still loves Blue Bell. Amazing.

Nope. I haven't bought Blue Bell since they started production back a few years ago.

He must have had a hell of a bonus tied to his numbers. It amazes me that people who rise to these positions can make such stupid decisions.

The listeria is what made it taste so good...

I still buy Bluebell. One person doesn’t ruin the brand for me.

Blue Bell is one of the brands I miss the most when I'm out of the region.

The same people won’t eat Ben & Jerry’s because of their politics even though it’s a better product.

If you were the aggies, do you still keep the baseball field named blue bell park?

You can’t compare politics and intentionally sending out adulterated and harmful product to consumers. But I see what you’re saying.
Blue Bell knowingly sent out a product that could kill you, hid it, deleted evidence, and didn’t try to fix the problems to stop it from happening. They just let it roll like nothing was happening.
