Todays court action closes a difficult chapter in Blue Bells history, company officials said in a statement on Thursday. Blue Bells former president, Paul Kruse, has previously been charged with seven felony counts for his alleged efforts to conceal the contamination from customers. We are a new, different and better Blue Bell. The Food and Drug Administration in 2015 found sanitation issues at the companys Brenham and Broken Arrow, Texas facilities, including problems with the hot water supply that was used to clean equipment. Prosecutors in the case charged that the company dispensed products that were manufactured under unsanitary conditions and contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that causes an illness that can be life-threatening.
The FDA also found several counts of misconduct among other things.
