ALERT!!! CNN has FDA "Director of Food Safety" Dork ..Throw out all Castleberry Chili Sauce!
Edited on Sat Jul-21-07 06:07 PM by KoKo01
The guy was an idiot...and CNN is three days late to this Botulism recall which was posted by DU'er and the post went to archives fast!

Anyway, the recall listed two OTHER BRANDS manufactured for sale and consumers wouldn't get from that Clueless Anchor who came over from Fox...(Rick Sanchez) that folks need to know that that there are TWO OTHER BRAND NAMES and folks are going to look for manufactured by CASTLEBERRY and not the brand that's on the label.

Anyway, FDA has EXPANDED RECALL of the CHILI SAUCE SOLD FOR HOT DOGS and it include beyond the dates of the FIRST RECALL. THE FDA DIDN'T INCLUDE THE DATES OF THE EXPANDED RECALL and Didn't even say you CAN DIE OF BOTULISM! :eyes:

ANYWAY ...look on the label of any "chili sauce" and try to find that it's manufactured by CASTLEBERRY and according to FDA DORK ...who looked scared shitless...TIE IT IN A PLASTIC BAG AND SEAL IT WITH A TWISTIE AND DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Here are earlier Posts on this by DU'ers:

Tainted hot dog chili sauce sends 4 to hospital

"WASHINGTON - Federal health officials warned consumers Wednesday to throw away certain cans of hot dog chili sauce after the product was linked to botulism that has sent four people to the hospital.

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.

<snip>

Botulism is a muscle-paralyzing disease caused by a toxin made by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum, according to the CDC.

Brackett urged consumers to discard any of the recalled cans without opening them. “The toxin is so potent if they get it on their hands or it sprays in their face, it could make them ill,” he said..."

The recall covers the following universal product codes:

Castleberry’s Hot Dog Chili Sauce (UPC 3030000101);
Austex Hot Dog Chili Sauce (UPC 3030099533);
Kroger Hot Dog Chili Sauce (UPC 1111083942).

1. If I remember correctly, one of the brands was a Walmart Private label.
I believe you gen get the full recall info if you just google Castleberry and go to their site.

I know I posted this info a few days ago and figured nobody cared because it sunk like a stone.

3. It's amazing to me that DU'ers don't know that Botulism KILLS! unlike Salmonella and E-Coli that can
be treated if caught early and if you aren't impaired from another disease...BOTULISM KILLS!

5. "napi21" see my post below where I post your post from DU Archives...
I see you don't have a donor star....so I searched and found your post and the original post that I replied to that had sunk to archives.

I wonder why folks aren't taking this seriously ...unless they think that Botulism Toxin is just the BOTOX the STARS and folks who can afford it are getting injected into their wrinkles to plump them out.

Botulism Outbreak years ago in Gourmet Soup and Tuna Fish KILLED FOLKS and it was a BIG DEAL! Many DU'ers might not remember that.

7. I have a donor star. I donate to DU every time there's a drive.
You must have just missed it.

I don't know why some posts just crash to the floor. I guess it has a lot to do with when they're posted and how many people are paying attention at the time.

4. What is "chili sauce sold for hot dogs" anyhow?
I read the original story and have to say I never saw any such thing on the market. Definitely not clear.

6. It's special for chili dogs, I guess.
Never heard of it myself, but back when I ate meat you couldn't have paid me to eat a hot dog, even when I was a kid. Or most canned chili for that matter. Eeew.

8. It's a pre-made ground beef and tomato sauce for making chili dogs.
It's not very good. I like a good chili-dog once in a while, but I make my own sauce!

10. It's a big thing for folks who like "Chili DOGS" ....
Edited on Sat Jul-21-07 07:17 PM by KoKo01
so. it's the kind of thing that folks keep handy in the Summer when they have cookouts and the kids won't eat anything but hot dogs...and some adult family members have to have their CHILI DOGS...

It might be a Regional Thing...but I've eaten them all over the East Coast from Maine to SC. :shrug:

12. I had my first chili dog when I first moved to SC in 1987.
I wouldn't want to eat them OFTEN but they're good once in a while and especially at picnics!

13. In the northeast "chili sauce" is like a spicy ketchup or an Asian condiment
We have chili dogs but I guess I always thought you just put regular chili on them! :)
