This is a seasonal holiday flavor that was distributed in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, and Texas. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.
The potentially contaminated cookie dough responsible for the Blue Bunny ice cream recall was distributed by Aspen Hills Inc. of Garner, IA., the same product that forced Texas-based Blue Bell Creameries to issue 2 separate recalls for its ice cream products in less than a month. Two other companies, Chocolate Shoppe and Publix, have also issued recalls for ice cream products over similar concerns. The problem is likely to get worse before it gets better, as Aspen Hills distributes to dozens of companies that may soon be forced to issue recalls of their own.
