The Augusta food processing plant linked to a botulism outbreak this summer is set to reopen today. Castleberry Foods will re-start production, two months after the national botulism outbreak in July. Cans of hot dog chili sauce were connected to several cases of rare and potentially deadly botulism. Eight people in Ohio, Texas and Indiana were sickened by the product. Federal officials last week gave the plant the 'green light' to reopen its doors. The production line that made the hot dog chili will not be put back in operation just yet.
