(Bloomberg) — Blue Bell Creameries Inc., working to contain the spread of listeria after three people died from the bacterial disease, expanded a product recall to include everything it makes.

Following an earlier recall of some ice cream, listeria has been found in several different places and plants, the Brenham, Texas-based company said. The affected products — including ice cream, frozen yogurt and other snacks — were distributed to retail outlets in 23 U.S. states, including California, Texas, Florida and Illinois, as well as international locations. The recall includes 8 million gallons of ice cream and other products, the company said.
