DEC warns consumers not to eat certain brands of chili, other canned
products; dog food also being recalled
The thing that really struck me about this recall is the dog food items: Dog foods may also be contaminated, including these listed below:
Natural Balance Eatables dog food varieties (15 oz cans):
* Irish Stew with Beef Dog Food
* Chinese Take Out with Sauce with Vegetables and Chicken Dog Food
* Southern Style Dumplings with Gravy with Chicken and Vegetables Dog Food
* Hobo Chili with Chicken Pasta Dog Food
Wow - how gourmet! I wonder if you get little fortune cookies with the Chinese food?
