FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- New Era, MI - February 7, 2008 --- New Era Canning
Company of New Era, Michigan is recalling all cans of vegetable products in
#10 cans (large cans containing between 6 and 7 pounds) on the list below
because they may have been processed under conditions which could have led
to contamination by Clostridium botulinum bacterium spores, which can cause
life-threatening illness or death.
While the UPC on the can label may be helpful in determining whether the
product might be under recall, customers will need to also examine the lot
code information on the can end to determine whether the can is subject to
recall, as some distributors may purchase these products from more than one
supplier. The UPC and lot code information has been included on the product
list for each product under recall to make the identification of any
recalled products easier.

Hey, one side of my family's from that area. Here's a picture of my
grandfather (on the wagon on the left ) in New Era, about a hundred years
ago:

No doubt a just-in-case situation. In a cannery, cooking times are
determined by how long and at how high a temp is required to kill botulism
bacteria. These temps are tested in real time by cooking live botulism media
in actual canning conditions and then analyzing to make sure all bacteria
have been killed. This is done a couple times per season. Usually, recalls
are due to possible undercook runs that may have the potential of not
killing any/everything in those cans. That's why many canned products
seemed overcooked. They are ....and for good reason.

Thanks for the info, BOB -- if I wanted botulism, I'd get Botox....
