How does this affect us?
Many people in the world like ice cream. A lot of people eat ice cream and have no worries that they could be eating listeria, people don't want to have to eat stuff in a worry that they're going to get contaminated and possibly even die. After they put Blue Bell products back on the shelf i'm sure there will be a dramatic decrease in their sales. People are not going to want to buy stuff that has been recalled and deaths have occurred from this. This will also make people think more and be more picky before just eating anything.
