Blue Bell spokesman Gene Grabowski confirmed Sam's Club (WMT) has joined H-E-B in halting sales. The dairy company based in Brenham, Texas, last month issued a recall after ice cream contaminated with listeriosis was linked to three deaths at a Kansas hospital.
The foodborne illness was tracked to a production line in Brenham and later to a second line in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Blue Bell announced Friday it had stopped all production at the Broken Arrow plant.
Kroger spokeswoman Kristal Howard says the grocer has pulled items produced at the Oklahoma plant but continues to sell other products.
Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly noted that Kroger was also pulling all Blue Bell products.
