Chili sauce recall gets explained

The recent chili sauce recall from this past week may have been caused by botulism in a plant that had a production problem just a few short months ago, according to officials.

At the time, the cans produced at the facility showed no problems, although the cans had been coming out of a heating and sterilization process too hot before they were cooled. Independent evaluators also found no problems when asked to inspect the cans from the facility.

In case you have not seen the list of recalled chili sauce products, here are the names and bar code numbers. Check your pantry.
  • Castleberry's Hot Dog Chili Sauce (UPC 3030000101)
  • Austex Hot Dog Chili Sauce (UPC 3030099533)
  • Kroger Hot Dog Chili Sauce (UPC 1111083942)
  • Morton House Corned Beef Hash, 15 oz. can (UPC 7526665830)
  • Cattle Drive Chili with Beans, 15 oz. can (UPC 3030001515)
  • Southern Home Corned Beef Hash, 15 oz. can (UPC 0788015360)
  • Meijer Corned Beef Hash, 15 oz. can (UPC 4125095229)
  • Castleberry's Chili with Beans, 15 oz. can (UPC 3030001015)
  • Castleberry's Barbecue Pork, 10 oz. can (UPC 3030000402
  • Bunker Hill Chili No Beans, 10 oz. can (UPC 7526604112)

Hot dog sauce recalled due to botulism contamination

In the first commercial case in a long while of a canned product recall due to botulism food poisoning bacteria, some popular brands of hot dog sauce (a little different than hot dog chili) have been recalled.

The brands include Castleberry's, Austex and Kroger brands of hot dog sauce in the 10-ounce size. Two children in Texas has become very ill when the botulism was discovered. It's extremely rare to find it in canned products, and there has not been a case stemming from a canned food in the U.S. in decades.

Check your pantries and see if you have any of the offending cans. The "Best Buy" dates stamped in the cans will be from April 30, 2009 to May 22, 2009. My my, there must be some hefty preservatives in there!
