it never ends.....

.....the food recalls that is. This week the FDA has had to handle

yet another food crisis. Castleberry Foods of Augusta, Georgia

has recalled more than 80 versions of canned corned beef hash,

chili, chili sauce, and beef stew. Apparently the meat products

have been connected to a botulism outbreak; botulism is a

muscle paralyzing disease brought about by a bacterium. So 

far, cases have been discovered in Texas and Indiana. Most of

the Castleberry products are sold as the store or generic brands

of many grocery stores. Equipment malfunction seems to be the

culprit of this latest recall; a Castleberry official stated "we 

believe we have isolated the issue to a situation of under-

processing on one line of our production facility...we have shut

down this line altogether and are recalling all products produced 

on it." Guess we just have to wait for the next food or other

recall, I am sure it will be just around the corner, since corners

keep getting cut on a regular basis.
