The New Era Canning Company of New Era, Michigan has issued a recall
The following food recall is in addition to the New Era Canning Company's recall that was sent out on January 11, 2008. Although the Vermont Foodbank did not receive any of the recalled items from the manufacturer there is always the chance that your program may have received these items from salvage or from local donations and food drives. Please check your inventory and dispose of the recalled items.
The New Era Canning Company of New Era, Michigan has issued a recall of all cans of green beans and garbanzo beans in #10 cans (large cans containing between 6 and 7 pounds). The recalled products 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. The codes on the affected product begin with the numbers "00249," or the letters "GREEN" or "GARB". This recall is in addition to others announced by New Era last week.
