Blue Bell ice cream is back, customers waste no time getting their fix

After five months without their favorite ice cream, Blue Bell fans are ecstatic to hear the brand is coming back to stores.

After a listeria contamination forced a recall of the company’s ice cream, Blue Bell is finally ready to re-enter the market. Fans in Brenham, Houston and Austin, Texas, along with those in Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama, will be at the front lines of the Blue Bell grocery store reintroduction beginning today. Blue Bell plans to roll out its ice cream to 15 other states soon after. The company is currently producing ice cream only at its facility in Sylacauga, Alabama, so it has to take things nice and easy at first.

This means fans no longer have to stress out over whether the black market Blue Bell they purchased over Craigslist is legit. (If you’re reading this and just got excited about the Craigslist recalled foods black market, please rethink that plan.)
