Former Blue Bell Creameries President Charged in Connection with 2015 Ice Cream Listeria Contamination IOPA I Department of Just 10/22/2020 Former Blue Bell Creameries President Charged In Connection With 2015 Ice Cream Listeria Contamination IOPA I Department of Just. .. II§ An official website of the United States government Here's how you know Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, October 21 , 2020 Former Blue Bell Creameries President Charged In Connection With 2015 Ice Cream Listeria Contamination A Texas grand jury charged the former president of ice cream manufacturer Blue Bell Creameries L.P. with wire fraud and conspiracy in connection with an alleged scheme to cover up the company's sales of Listeria-tainted ice cream in 2015, the Justice Department announced today. In an indictment filed in federal court in Austin, Texas, former Blue Bell president Paul Kruse was charged with seven counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud related to his alleged efforts to conceal from customers what the company knew about Listeria contamination in certain Blue Bell products. According to the indictment, Texas state officials notified Blue Bell in February 2015 that two ice cream products from the company's Brenham, Texas, factory tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, a dangerous pathogen that can lead to serious illness or death in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. Kruse allegedly orchestrated a scheme to deceive certain Blue Bell customers, including by directing employees to remove potentially contaminated products from store freezers without notifying retailers or consumers about the real reason for the withdrawal. The indictment alleges that Kruse directed employees to tell customers who asked about the removal that there was an unspecified issue with a manufacturing machine. The company did not immediately recall the products or issue any formal communication to inform customers about the potential Listeria contamination. "American consumers trust that the individuals who lead food manufacturing companies will put the public safety before profits," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Bossert Clark of the Justice Department's Civil Division. "The Department of Justice will take appropriate action against those who ship contaminated products and choose not to tell consumers about known risks." "U.S. consumers rely on food producers and suppliers to ensure the safety of the nation's food supply. The charges announced today show that if an individual violates food safety rules or conceals relevant information, we will seek to hold them accountable," said Judy McMeekin, Pharm.D., Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). "We will continue to investigate and bring to justice those who jeopardize public health." 'The Defense Criminal Investigative Service's number one priority is the safety and well-being of America's warfighters and their families," said Michael Mentavlos, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Department of Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) Southwest Field Office. "The results of this investigation are an example of DCIS' determination to enforce food safety standards, as required by Defense Department contracts. These standards not only protect individuals, but are paramount to military readiness." The indictment, returned Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, further alleges that March 2015 tests conducted by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) linked the strain of Listeria in one of the Blue Bell ice cream products to a strain that sickened five patients at a Kansas hospital with listeriosis, the severe illness caused by ingestion of Listeria-contaminated food. The FDA, CDC, and Blue Bell issued public recall notifications on March 13, 2015. Subsequent tests confirmed Listeria contamination in a product made at https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-blue-bell-creameries-president-charged-connection-2015-ice-cream-listeria 1/2 10/22/2020 Former Blue Bell Creameries President Charged In Connection With 2015 Ice Cream Listeria Contamination IOPA I Department of Just. .. another Blue Bell facility in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, which resulted in a second recall announcement on March 23, 2015. Additional positive test results ultimately led Blue Bell to recall all ice cream products in April 2015. Blue Bell pleaded guilty in a related case in May to two counts of distributing adulterated food products in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. On Sept. 17, 2020, the court sentenced the company to pay criminal penalties totaling $17.25 million. Blue Bell also agreed to pay an additional $2.1 million to resolve civil False Claims Act allegations regarding ice cream products manufactured under insanitary conditions and sold to federal facilities, including the military. The total $19.35 million in fine, forfeiture, and civil settlement payments constitutes the second largest-ever amount paid in resolution of a food safety matter. Blue Bell temporarily closed all of its plants in late April 2015 to clean and update its facilities. Since re-opening its facilities in late 2015, Blue Bell has taken significant steps to enhance sanitation processes and enact a program to test products for Listeria prior to shipment. Kruse was previously charged by criminal information on May 1, 2020, during the temporary closure of grand juries in the Western District of Texas due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That criminal information later was dismissed without opposition from the government, and the new indictment returned by the grand jury, which has resumed operations, now sets out the charges against Kruse. The indictment filed against Kruse merely alleges that crimes have been committed. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Patrick Hearn and Matt Lash of the Civil Division's Consumer Protection Branch are prosecuting the case with assistance from Shannon Singleton of the FDA's Office of Chief Counsel. The criminal investigation was conducted by the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations and the DCIS.

  • Why Richmond?
    Why Richmond? Richmond, Virginia, has a central place in America's history. It was here that the nation's founding fathers were inspired to set into motion the creation of our country. We’re one of America's oldest cities yet we’re tops in attracting the sought-after millennial workforce, in large part thanks to our robust higher education institutions. Companies from across the globe are attracted to the Richmond region, much like the ten Fortune 1000 companies headquartered here. And there are many others with a major presence or divisional headquarters. Over the last five years, Richmond has had the highest job growth rate in the Commonwealth with the population migration to match. Here are just a few of the reasons why companies and workforce are selecting Richmond, Va. for expansion or relocation. Strategic geography located at the mid-point of the east coast. Richmond, Va. is ideal for companies looking for strong infrastructure network of roads (I-95, I-64, I-85), ports (the Richmond Marine Terminal connects to the Port of Virginia, one of the nation’s largest seaports), air (Richmond International Airport – named one of the most efficient in North America) and rail (only place in the U.S. where three Class I railroads cross above ground at the same location). Simply put, it’s easy to move goods and people to, through and within Greater Richmond. More than 45 percent of the nation’s population can be accessed within a one-day drive. And living here, you’re less than two hours from both the beach and the mountains or our nation’s capital, providing a vast selection of day trip options.

  • Eleventh Circuit Holds That New Value Need Not Remain Unpaid for Section 547(C)(4) Defense to Apply in Preference Actions by David Wender and Tom Clinkscales
    WWW.ALSTON.COM Bankruptcy & Financial Restructuring ADVISORY n AUGUST 28, 2018 Eleventh Circuit Holds That New Value Need Not Remain Unpaid for Section 547(c)(4) Defense to Apply in Preference Actions by David Wender and Tom Clinkscales On August 14, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held that a preference defendant may reduce its preference exposure to a debtor or trustee in bankruptcy by the value of the goods or services supplied to the debtor by that supplier after the transfers in question occurred, regardless of whether the “new value” remains unpaid. Under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor in bankruptcy can avoid a transfer of an interest of the debtor in property made to a creditor within the 90 days before the filing of the debtor’s bankruptcy petition (the “preference period”) if the transfer was (1) made while the debtor was insolvent; (2) made on account of an antecedent debt owed by the debtor to the creditor; which (3) allowed the creditor to receive more than it would have received in a Chapter 7 case had the transfer not been made; unless (4) the defendant can show the existence of one of the defenses set out in Section 547(c). One of the Section 547(c) defenses is the “new value” defense, which holds that a transfer is not avoidable under Section 547 if the creditor provided valuable goods or services to the debtor after the otherwise- avoidable transfer occurred (and before the debtor’s bankruptcy petition was filed) that was “(A) not secured by an otherwise unavoidable security interest; and (B) on account of which new value the debtor did not make an otherwise unavoidable transfer to or for the benefit of such creditor” up to the amount of the new value delivered.

BLUE BELL CREAMERIES VOLUNTARILY EXPANDS RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL OF ITS PRODUCTS DUE TO POSSIBLE HEALTH RISK BRENHAM, Texas, April 20, 2015 –Blue Bell Ice Cream of Brenham, Texas, is v oluntarily recalling all of its products currently on the market made at all of its facilities including ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet and frozen snacks because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
