Beans recalled due to Botulism

http://www.thestate.com/business/story/280102.html

Quote:

744 cans of beans from New Era Canning Co. are being recalled because the food might be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.

The recall includes 258 cans of GFS-brand Fancy Mexican Style Chili Beans, 342 Kitchen-brand Blue Lake Mixed Cuts Green Beans and 144 cans of Great Value-brand Dark Red Kidney Beans.

The chili beans were distributed to businesses in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin and sold through GFS Marketplace stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan.

The green beans were not sold in stores but were distributed to a Michigan restaurant. The kidney beans were sold at Wal-Mart Stores in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming.

Oy veh.... :ohwell:

Thanks for the head's up. Just checked my pantry. Weird how they knew the precise number of cans....

Of course, you can also shoot it into your head to make you look younger. :evilgrin:

But man, what's with all these food poisoning reports lately. Everything either has E Coli or something else wrong with it. I thought this was the era of spraying lysol on everything, to keep it cleaner than it needs to be.

Don't cans with the botulism bacteria have a distinctive look to them (parts of the can stick way out)?

I guess they ain't the magical fruit no more, hah? HAH?

Bah...
