Blue Bell initially recalled ten products from the market after the consumption of its single-serve ice cream and milkshake products was connected to the contraction of listeria in five hospital patients in Kansas. The listeria outbreak has to date been linked to three fatalities.

Listeria has been detected on products made in Broken Arrow and another Blue Bell production site in Brenham, Texas.
