More and more recalls

Is anything safe to eat these days if it comes from a chain store or a big corporation more focused on it's bottom line and not the ultimate consumers? These companies know that the FDA is NOT inspecting most foods - not with this administration in charge - so they cut corners - and who pays? Us!

Here is the latest in what has become a long series of food recalls..these are not even from China - it's people food and dog food from the good old USA via Castleberry Food Company of Augusta, Ga.

From the FDA:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expanding its July 18 warning to consumers. This expansion is for consumers and pet owners regarding canned food products and dog food produced by Castleberry Food Company of Augusta, Ga., due to the risk of botulinum toxin. Castleberry is expanding the recall to include all of the following canned products with all "best by" and code dates, and FDA is warning consumers not to purchase or eat any of the canned products listed in the table below.
