Recalled food products sold in Washington

OLYMPIA – Three products involved in a national food recall are known to have been sold in Washington, the state Department of Health said Wednesday, suggesting state residents check their shelves for the items.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned this week that people should immediately throw away more than 90 different products, from chili sauce to corned beef hash to dog food, produced at a Castleberry’s Food Co. plant linked to a botulism outbreak. The suspect plant, in Georgia, has been temporarily closed.

So far, four cases of botulism have been reported – two from Indiana and two from Texas. All four people consumed Hot Dog Chili Sauce Original, a product made by Castleberry’s.

The state Health Department identified the three recalled foods known to have been sold in Washington as: 15-ounce cans of Cattle Drive Chili, 15-ounce cans of Castleberry’s Corned Beef Hash and 15-ounce cans of Castleberry’s Beef Stew.

As of Wednesday, the department said there have been no reported cases of illness in Washington related to the recall.
