inspection of the Castleberry's facility in Augusta, Ga.
Exposure to botulinum toxin can be fatal and two people in Texas and two
people in Indiana remain seriously ill and hospitalized with botulism
poisoning associated with eating Castleberry's Hot Dog Chili Sauce.
While the previous recall and the known illnesses are linked to production
dates of April 30 to May 22, 2007, the firm has extended the recall to
include all products listed irrespective of "best by" date. The firm is
cooperating with FDA in the recall of these products and has ceased
processing and distribution.
In addition, Castleberry is recalling other products containing meat, which
are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. USDA is also warning
the public not to eat certain brands of Castleberry products containing
meat. The list of these USDA-regulated products can be viewed at this link
