Listeria has infected the Blue Bell ice cream supply and many people are becoming ill and some are dying. It seems that the problem originates from the Blue Bell plant in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Sources have said that three people in texas have become ill and hospitalizide after eating Blue Bell products. According to the article, this brings the total number of Listeria cases linked to Blue Bell up to eight. The other five were in a hospital in Kansas, and three of those people died. Blue Bell is working hard to fix the issues and should be up and running shortly.
I would use this source to show the people affect by listeria. I would also use it to show the places people are becoming ill.

announcement they shut down their production line. According to my source Listeriosis is a serious, life-threatening illness. It is said that it can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as fever,muscle aches and diarrhea. Only 64 people were found to possibly be affected by the Blue Bell recall.
I will use this source to show the people affected by listeriosis in Blue Bell ice cream. I will also show the ages of the people affect and their symptoms.
