Chili Recall Now Includes Some Pet Foods by Same Company

By 250 News

    The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has  re-issued its notice of a food recall and  is adding some  canned dog food made by the same company.

There haven’t been any confirmed cases of botulism poisoning in Canada, but the  agency is concerned that this product may have been purchased and is sitting in a cupboard at the cabin, or it has been packed for a camping trip,  just waiting  for someone to come along and, not knowing,  heat it up and eat it.

Great Value Original Chili with Beans, sold in 425 g cans bearing UPC 6 81131 79994 2 and  Great Value Hot Chili with Beans, sold in 425 g cans bearing UPC 6 81131 79995 9, should  be disposed of  immediately. These products were sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores across Canada.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency  has already issued three  public advisories about this  recall and is now adding  some cans of dog food manufactured in the same facility as the chili to the list of foods that should be disposed of.

Castleberry’s 15 oz cans of Natural Balance Eatables for Dogs sold in the following varieties should be  thrown out:

• Irish Stew with Beef,
• Potatoes and Carrots,
• Hobo Chili with Chicken and Pasta,
• Southern Style Dumplings with Gravy with Chicken and Vegetables, and
• Chinese Take-Out With Sauce With Vegetables and Chicken. Inadvertent exposure or cross-contamination while handling these products could result in human illness.
