Last week, Texas-based ice cream company Blue Bell Creameries recalled different products from their stock due to a listeria outbreak in the state of Kansas that was apparently related to a number of their foods - and now it seems the company has located the responsible machine.

Last week, Food World News reported on the listeria outbreak in Kansas that caused the ice cream company to recall some of their products for the first time in their 107 year-old history, after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted the issue on their website and revealed which products were dangerous.

Food Poisoning Bulletin reports that, before the listeria outbreak, Blue Bell Creameries had been a part of other issues with food poisoning, as the company actually shot down the machine that made these products weeks before the FDA issued the order when the South Carolina Department of Health & Environment Control detected the Listeria monocytogenes in two different Blue Bell products of the same line.

Whatever this might mean, ultimately it seems the company was aware that there was a health issue with their products, and they didn't recall them until later.

USA Today reports that there may be more cases related to the Listeria outbreak, due to the fact that symptoms of listeriosis can appear anywhere between 3 to 70 days after consuming the bacteria.

Nobody suspected Blue Bell to have anything to do with the outbreak until South Carolina health officials discovered traces of the bacteria in some of the company's products in February.

According to WMCA Action News 5, the products that could endanger the population to a listeria outbreak are these: Chocolate Chip Country Cookie, SKU # 196; Great Divide Bar, SKU #108; Sour Pop Green Apple Bar, SKU #221; Cotton Candy Bar, SKU #216; Scoops, SKU #117; Vanilla Stick Slices, SKU #964; Almond Bars, SKU #156; 6 pack Cotton Candy Bars, SKU #245; 6 pack Sour Pop Green Apple Bars, SKU #249 and 12 pack No Sugar Added Mooo Bars, SKU #343.
