We have received a number of requests for a list of products that have been recalled for potential contamination with Clostridium botulinum.  It is important to note that Castleberry’s manufactures a number of products and sells them under various brand names.  After viewing the Castleberry’s website, here is what we have found:

Product Recall Handling Safety Instructions

If you have purchased any of the recalled products, do not open or consume them. The Food and Drug Administration recommends that you double bag them in plastic bags that are tightly closed before being placed in a trash receptacle for non-recyclable trash outside of the home. If you notice that any of these cans are swollen, bulging or leaking, please put on gloves and eye protection before double-bagging and disposing of the cans. Slowly remove gloves and dispose after use. Wash hands with soap and running water for at least 2 minutes. Additional instructions for safe disposal can be found at www.cdc.gov/botulism/botulism_faq.htm.
