HOUSTON — Blue Bell Creameries will lay off more than a third of its workforce following a series of listeria illnesses linked to its ice cream that prompted a nationwide recall of all its products, the Texas company announced Friday.
The company, whose production plants remain closed, said 750 full-time employees and 700 part-time workers are losing their jobs.
That represents about 37 percent of its 3,900 employees.
