An Augusta food plant linked to a botulism outbreak is closed. Castleberry’s Food Company shuttered its Augusta processing facility, after 16 can of chili sauce tested positive for the bacteria that causes botulism.
Botulism is rare but serious illness that can include paralysis of the arms, breathing muscles and lungs. So far four people in Indiana and Texas have been diagnosed with the illness. Castleberry’s has also voluntarily expanded its recall of hot dog chili sauce and canned meat products.
