HOUSTON – Social media is raging after a video surfaced of a young woman licking an opened carton of Blue Bell ice cream, replacing the lid and returning it to a store freezer.
It's unclear where or when the incident happened or who the peopel in the video are, but authorities are investigating the case.
Brenham-based ice cream producer, Blue Bell, has responded to their fans, saying it is working to attempt to identify the woman.
"This type of incident will not be tolerated. Food safety is a top priority, and we work hard to provide a safe product and maintain the highest level of confidence from our consumers," Blue Bell officials wrote in a statement.
The company added that the ice cream in its containers should freeze to the lid, creating a natural seal. If anyone previously tampered with a lid, consumers would likely notice.
On social media, many Blue Bell fans cited their concerns over the need for a seal on the ice cream containers. See those remarks, as well as others in the social media posts below.

Good Morning Everyone, except the woman who licked a carton of #BlueBell ice cream then put it back in the freezer with zero respect for shoppers or food safety. You jeopardized a company's reputation, and Blue Bell employee JOBS. You better do more than a lame apology.

Will NEVER buy #BlueBell again! They need to start sealing their ice cream...
— AmberLenez (@iamAmberLenez) July 2, 2019
Y'all do realize that MANY ice cream manufacturers don't use sealed containers, right? I'll still always buy @ILoveBlueBell, just grab from the back. I never buy the top/front product from anywhere for anything. #Bluebell

Why not spend a little $$ #BlueBell and put a tamper seal on? It worked for Tylenol

If the lid comes off easy it’s been tampered with by a twit like this. Whichever LEO dept bust her deserves and ice cream party. There is no excuse and sorry does not cut it. #BlueBell https://t.co/s1gOZtfuhv

Last time they had to pull #bluebell from the shelves Texans lost their minds. Texans love @ILoveBlueBell so I hope they sort out their packaging soon.
