Blue Bell Creameries Begins Producing Ice Cream Again at Alabama Plant

“We’re busy at our Sylacauga, AL, facility crankin’ out ice cream and building inventory,” Blue Bell said on its Twitter account Wednesday. The company added, “stay tuned in the coming weeks for the details of our return.”

ABC’s Dallas affiliate WFAA reported that the trials, and later operation, began at the Alabama facility first because it is smaller than the company’s plant in Brenham, Texas, and improvements could be made there faster.
