Just posted a new infosheet on the main iFSN site focusing on the Castleberry recall. Each week we try to come up with a couple of potential stories that we use for the sheets. This week we tossed around using the coverage of the new restaurant grading system in Sacramento and the Cheesecake Factory’s Hepatitis A situation, but settled on the Castleberry botulism recall. This quote from Lynae
Granzow, Indiana Department of Health, sold us on it yesterday:
"Even though this recall has been out and we keep asking the media and the public to communicate the message, persons still are unaware of it. Make sure this is absolutely not on your shelves".
Botulism recalls are a big deal, and this one is enormous with 90 products coming off the shelves. Trying to manage these situations at retailers and food service establishments of any size is difficult and can be problematic. Check out the infosheet here.
