Iowa cookie dough supplier for Blue Bell ice cream shuts down after listeria outbreak

The Houston Chronicle
reports that the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter last month to Aspen Hills detailing the company's failures in preventing contamination.

Blue Bell credited its testing program with identifying the presence of listeria in the dough.

I thought you were going to suggest that we get rid of Blue Bell ice cream. That's blasphemy to Texans.
