Blue Bell Creameries is responsible for a recent outbreak of listeriosis. Five patients became ill with listeriosis between December 2013 and January 2015 during their hospitalizations for unrelated reasons. Three out of five of the patients died. The FDA believes the patients’ listeriosis was caused by eating certain Blue Bell ice cream products.

Listeriosis or listeria infection is a foodborne bacterial illness that can be very serious for pregnant women and people with impaired immune systems. Listeria infection is most commonly contracted by eating improperly processed deli meats and unpasteurized milk products. Listeriosis is fatal in about 25% of people infected. It can take up to 70 days from the time you eat the product to the time you start feeling sick.

The initial symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. As the infection spreads to your nervous system, symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion or changes in alertness, loss of balance, and convulsions. During pregnancy, the mother may experience only mild symptoms of listeriosis but babies may die before birth or experience a life-threatening infection soon after birth. Symptoms of listeriosis in newborns include little interest in feeding, irritability, fever, and vomiting.

Health officials have traced the affected Blue Bell ice cream products to the company’s manufacturing facility in Brenham, Texas and Oklahoma.
