The company made the announcement on Facebook Monday. The image with the post shows a plane pulling a “Coming soon” banner behind it.

Blue Bell Ice Cream was recalled eight years ago due to a listeria outbreak. Authorities linked the outbreak to three death in Kansas. The company agreed to plead guilty and pay $19.35 million in the case. In addition, its plants in Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama underwent intensive cleaning.

The company slowly began returning its ice cream to some markets and eventually added more states.
