I can forgive a one time recall or one time discovery of listeria, but not multiple discoveries since 2013 and no recall until 2015. Blue Bell should have done better.

This is the relevant point. A company that knows that it is in violation of health and safety standards and that takes no action to handle the issue, and that then tries to cover up the issue when it is publicly exposed, is a company with a rotten, toxic culture.

Their factories will soon be contaminated again and management will cover it up, cut corners, and ostracize anyone who tries to blow the whistle.

Unless you're already sick or have immune issues, it's really unlikely you'll die from listeriosis, and frankly, it's unlikely you'd even get all that sick. But that's not the point. The point is that this company is profoundly and fundamentally flawed at the level of its culture. It is run by people who have proven themselves to be totally unethical.

I'm not spending a dime on them. Ever.
