Thank goodness its not the stew-lol! I have a ton of that!

My thoughts exactly - LOL

I gave cans of the stew to my sis, my mom, my grandparents - I was thinking when I saw this thread "oh great, now I have to call them all and see if they still have any" SO glad it's not that but I am sorry if anyone has any of these products - yuck!

Ugh!!! I too was panicking thinking it was the stew.
I open up the link and find it includes the chili we just had on hot dogs for dinner tonight. Now I've got to dig the can out of the trash to find out if it's on the list.

I think we ate some of this, but its been a couple of weeks. There is some leftover in the freezer I'll have to throw out because the can is long gone and I don't know if its on the list.

Castleberry Food Recall!

Just wanted to share this, as come of the Castleberry Stews are on sale in certain store locations right now...

WASHINGTON - A Georgia meat processor on Saturday expanded its recall of canned meat products that may be connected to a botulism outbreak.

Castleberry's Food Co. of Augusta recalled more than 80 types of canned chili, beef stew, corned beef hash and other meat products in addition to the 10 brands it had recalled Thursday.

Cans of chili sauce made at the Castleberry's plant were found in the homes of an Indiana couple and two children in Texas who had been hospitalized with botulism. All four are expected to survive.

Botulism is a muscle-paralyzing disease caused by a toxin made by a bacterium, Clostridium botulinum. Such bacteria are commonly found in soil.

The Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service said Thursday that an equipment malfunction may have been responsible for the contamination. On Saturday, FSIS said the malfunctions at the Augusta processing plant may have existed longer than initially estimated.
Castleberry's, which is owned by Bumble Bee Seafoods LLC and based in San Diego, voluntarily expanded the recall.

Castleberry's senior vice president Steve Mavity said: "We believe we have isolated the issue to a situation of under-processing on one line of our production facility. As an extra precaution to the recall we announced on Wednesday, we have shut down this line altogether and are recalling all products produced on it."

Brand names of the recalled products include Austex, Best Yet, Big Y, Black Rock, Bloom, Bryan, Bunker Hill, Castleberry's, Cattle Drive, Firefighters, Food Club, Food Lion, Goldstar, Great Value, Kroger, Lowes, Meijer, Morton House, Paramount, Piggly Wiggly, Prudence, Southern Home, Steak N Shake, Thrifty Maid, Triple Bar and Value Time. The recall also includes four varieties of Natural Balance dog food.

Consumers with questions about the recall may contact Castleberry's at 1-888-203-8446.

Each can label or can end bears the establishment number "EST. 195" inside the USDA seal of inspection. The canned meat products were distributed nationwide. The problem was discovered during an investigation into illnesses in Indiana and Texas. The investigation led to a recall by FDA of three types of meatless hotdog chili sauce. The FDA's recall release can be found at www.fda.gov. That recall is also being expanded to include all meatless products produced at the plant that might still be in commerce. There have been no reports of illness from consumption of the products listed in this news release.

Okay, I just checked the Castleberry website & the 20oz beef stew, that I think most of us purchased with those coupons a few months ago, is not included in this voluntary recall. The 15 ounce can of beef stew IS included, upc #30300 00815

I am actually hoping it is recalled though-lol! I got all of these for free & overage & have about 50 cans & dh doesn't like it so much. I guess I'd get a refund of full price if they are recalled? Here's hoping-lol!
