Contaminated green beans...

See this over at C&L

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/08/05/consumer-alert-fda-warns-of-botulism-risk-from-some-brands-of-green-beans/

"The FDA said the affected Lakeside French-cut green beans are sold nationwide under the brands Albertson’s, Happy Harvest, Best Choice, Food Club, Bogopa, Valu Time, Hill Country Fare, HEB, Laura Lynn, Kroger, No Name, North Pride, Shop N Save, Shoppers Valu, Schnucks, Cub Foods, Dierbergs, Flavorite, IGA, Best Choice and Thrifty Maid. "

Who eats canned foods the most...the poor, because, like it or not, fresh produce is more expensive.

But, hey, the FDA was actually doing its job for a change.
