If you missed last week's article about the Chili botulism scare, you're not alone.
Apparently, many store owners didn't get the memo either. It's been nearly a week and a half since the recall was issued, and the potentially deadly cans are still sitting on some store's shelves.
In fact, there have been multiple reports of infected cans literally exploding because of the multiplying bacteria inside. As a member of the FDA stated last week, botulism is not something to be taken lightly:
"We're not talking here about a bug that lands you in the bathroom for a few days with diarrhea. We're talking about a toxin that puts you in the intensive care unit."
Please check all of your cans of chili against the UPC codes and brands listed here, and in case you see any exploding cans while strolling down the aisle tomorrow, you should probably avoid those also.
