It's been a little over a week, and the canned chili botulism scare is still in full force in some areas of the country. This week, I read several reports on retailers who still had not pulled the affected products from store shelves.

The signs are starting to poke through though, as some cans are so filled with expanding bacteria that they are literally bursting on the shelf. That ought to get someone's attention, yes?

In a state of the art society like the one in the U.S., word must take more than a week when a food poisoning scare starts for things to be taken care of. Happy joy.
