Blue Bell ice cream heading back to KY

KENTUCKY (WTVQ) – Blue Bell ice cream will be back on shelves in Kentucky soon.

Blue Bell ice cream products were pulled from stores last year following a listeria outbreak.

On Monday, the company started delivering its products to seven southeast states, including Kentucky.

More cities will be added later this month.

During the listeria outbreak, Blue Bell laid off some employees while furloughing others.

The company says it now plans for all of its furloughed employees to return to work.
