Castleberry's food plant in Augusta to close

The Castleberry's food plant in Augusta is closing, according to a written statement from the board of trustees of Connors Bros. Income Fund.

Connors Bros. has just announced that Hanover Foods will acquire the Castleberry's brand. But that acquisition will not include the Augusta plant.

Castleberry's was at the center of a botulism outbreak last year that sickened at least eight people and led to a massive nationwide recall of its canned food products.
