Advertiser Staff
The state Department of Health is urging consumers to checktheir homes for recently recalled food items and toiletries and discard them immediately. There have been several recent recalls including canned chili, snack foods, contact lens solution, toothpaste and canned dog food.
State and federal agencies are working with retailers, wholesalers and distributors to ensure that all recalled products are pulled from their shelves, a DOH news release said.
The most recent recall involves Castleberry's Food Products. The affected products most commonly found in Hawai'i are Cattle Drive, Best Yet and Castleberry products and Natural
Balance Eatables canned dog food. Due to the risk of botulism poisoning, 88 canned meat products under various brand names and four varieties of canned dog food under the Natural
Balance Eatables brand have been recalled. There are no confirmed cases of botulism in Hawai'i at this time.
DOH urges consumers to review the complete listing of recalled products on Castleberry's Web site at www.castleberrys.com or contact the Castleberry's consumer hotline at 800-203-4412 or 888-203-8446.
