Georgia-canned chili sauce link to botulism

A hot dog chili sauce canned in Georgia has been linked to cases of botulism, and federal health officials are warning consumers to throw away the product. Four people—-two in Texas and two in Indiana became sick and landed in the hospital. The warning applies to 10-ounce cans of Castleberry’s, Austex and Kroger brands with "best-by" dates between April 30th 2009 and May 22nd 2009. Federal officials will investigate further at the Castleberry plant in Augusta. Company officials say they are voluntarily recalling all potentially contaminated products.
