Bursting cans give new urgency to botulism warnings

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cans of recalled food are bursting, swollen with bacteria that cause botulism.

The bursting cans were among those being held by Castleberry's Food Co., which last week announced a massive recall that now includes more than 90 potentially contaminated products, including chili sauces and dog foods.

News about the bursting cans gives new urgency to warnings from federal health officials to get rid of the recalled cans from pantries and store shelves.

Spot checks by the Food and Drug Administration and state officials are turning up recalled products for sale in convenience stores, gas stations and family-run groceries.

Liberate the sauces. Free the dog food! Bust 'em out!

2. I hope all the food pantries are being notified.

I heard on the news yesterday that one of the area food banks had a very large amount and they'd already distributed quite a bit.
