Shasta’s Cones & More to Temporarily Replace Blue Bell Ice Cream Products
April 21, 2015- On the evening of April 20, Blue Bell notified its retailers of a voluntary recall
for all of its products, which includes ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet and frozen snacks. These
are the main products of University of Houston’s ice cream shop, Shasta’s Cones & More. Due
to this recall, Shasta’s is forming a relationship with Ashby’s Sterling Ice Cream
(www.ashbysicecream.com) as a temporary replacement. The first shipment will arrive Thursday
(April 23), and full service will resume Friday (April 24). Shasta’s will continue to serve its
pastries, candy and coffee, which are not related to the recall.
Shasta’s Cones & More has served Blue Bell ice cream since 2005. With the students, faculty,
staff and campus visitors in mind, Shasta’s will continue to provide quality customer service and
products. Customers will be notified once Blue Bell products are safe and back on the menu. For
more detailed information regarding the Blue Bell recall, please visit
