WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal health officials warned consumers Wednesday to throw away certain cans of hot dog chili sauce after the product was linked to the first cases of botulism in commercially canned foods in decades. Four people were hospitalized. The warning applies to 10-ounce cans of Castleberry's, Austex and Kroger brands of hot dog chili sauce with "best by" dates from April 30, 2009, through May 22, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration said. It wasn't immediately clear how widely the products were distributed.

**Freeper Kitchen Ping**

I need to start pinging to these recall articles. FYI.

[JACKRUSSELL]

The products were made by the Castleberry Food Co., owned by Bumble Bee Seafoods LLC. The company, based in San Diego, had no immediate comment.

I'll bet ten bucks that the hot dog chili sauce is made in China for Castleberry Food Co. and distributed by Castleberry Food Co. and/or Bumble Bee Seafoods LLC .

I wouldn’t take you up on that bet. You’re probably right.

Of course, we’re racists for assuming a China connection....

Do you think the guy in the can should be wearing a suit?One wonders how often he has it dry cleaned. lol

What's that from? Less Than Zero?

[Aggie Mama]

We used to eat Bumblebee canned tuna decades ago. I remember it being so much better than anything else out there.
I picked up a can at the store the other day and just about gagged when I opened it—it smelled and looked like cat food.

hamburger
catsup...(not Heinz)...

Ha! I'm not the only one who specifically does not buy Heinz!

"Buy kosher products."

What part of Kosher dietary laws do you think is going to protect you from bad canning?

[relictele]

Anybody who actually buys and eats canned hotdog chili sauce is already pretty much rolling the dice

Amen. I'm a bit of a chili dog aficionado and the canned stuff is shocking.

I have been thinking for some time I need to learn more about Kosher, and traditional Jewish food. Not really sure what Kosher is, but want to learn more.

Don’t laugh, I am an east Tennessee hillbilly, and my experience is limited.

Buy kosher products.

Attendant: Well, the only meal left is a kosher meal.

Elaine: Kosher meal? I don't want a kosher meal. I don't even know what a kosher meal is.

Passenger 1: I think it means when a Rabbi has inspected it, or something.

Passenger 2: No, no. It all has to do with the way they kill the pig.

Passenger 1: They don't eat pigs!

Passenger 2: They do if it's killed right-- under a Rabbi's supervision.

Thanks for posting. Health/life BUMP!

Question.

In the directions you say "In skillet, heat oil, brown ground beef, onion, garlic and hot peppers," but in the ingredients list there were no hot peppers.

Did the habenaros get left off the list accidentally?

[ASA Vet]

Were you shopping in the pet food isle?

[girlangler]

OMG, I have ALL those symptoms, and I ate some of that stuff within the past few weeks.

And I thought it was because of all the beer I drank (grin). Actually, this isn’t funny.

My homegrown tomatoes and green beans look better every day, and next year, that deer at my feeder is going into my freezer. I’ve already caught the deer eating my green beans through my fenced garden (they have nibbled off everthing sticking outside the fence), I’m mad at the deer over this. I feed them corn and they stick their heads through the fence and eat my green beans.

Seriously, I’m thinking about raising all my own food, including chickens. My husband will FREAK when I bring home some chicks from the coop, but he’ll get over it.

That's not kosher :)

Seems pretty bland but I'd like to try to make matzo sometime.

You can't eat some Jewish foods with others on certain days/holidays and it has to be kosherized or something.
