BRENHAM (WBAP/KLIF NEWS) – Blue Bell is getting money to make sure its ice cream stays safe.
The Texas Workforce commission is donating a half million dollar grant to train employees in food safety.
Close to 800 workers at the ice cream maker’s plant in Brenham will take part in the training.
A listeria outbreak last year shut down production of Blue Bell ice cream and pulled it from store shelves across the country.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says three people died and at least ten people got sick because of the bacteria.
