Nazi t-shirts, dog food – Now chili sauce. From the Hattiesburg (MS) American:

A D’Iberville woman says the chili sauce she bought from a store in South Mississippi could have been contaminated with botulism.

U.S. federal authorities are asking consumers to throw away more than 90 different Castleberry’s Food Co. products, including chili sauce.

Eva Fountain, 61, says she shared a potentially bad can of the Castleberry’s Food chili sauce with her husband and two grandchildren.

Fountain told The Sun Herald newspaper on Wednesday that she called the company and it confirmed the can she purchased at the D’Iberville Wal-Mart was part of the recall.

Fountain said that as of late Wednesday, no one in her family had shown any symptoms of botulism.

Castleberry recalled its products after four people became ill after eating their hot dog chili sauce, which Fountain also ate.
A Wal-Mart spokesman said the products have been pulled from the shelves.

Fountain said she purchased the can last week before the recall was widely publicized and left for a camping trip before she heard about the recall.

If you shop at Wal-Mart, you better be up on all the food product recalls that have been issued recently. Perhaps they could provide a direct link to the FDA from their website. Oh wait, that would involve Wal-Mart actually taking some responsibility.

I know they say they pulled the cans, but I’m still expecting pictures to start showing up on the Consumerist any moment now. “Pulling” to Wal-Mart means nothing more than typing a message into a computer that its associates may or may not follow. The next step will be actual poisonings; if not this time, then the next one or the one after that, or the one after that . . .

Update: A little contrast.
