FDA says recall may affect 'tens of millions' of cans

WASHINGTON — Go back two years. Consider that the plant in question produced 10,000 cases of canned food a day, with 24 cans in each case.

That's the magnitude of the latest voluntary food recall taking shape, federal officials warned Monday. The Food and Drug Administration urged consumers to rid their shelves of about 90 different products, from chili sauce to corned beef hash to sausage gravy. The products were produced at a Castleberry's Food Co. plant linked to a botulism outbreak.

"You're talking tens of millions of cans that may have been involved," said Robert Brackett, director of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
