So… there’s a huge botulism recall for cans of hot dog chili. I think I’ve have had chili dogs at least three times in the past month.
“The toxin is so potent, if they get it on their hands or it sprays in their face, it could make them ill,” he said.
…
Symptoms of botulism include double or blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth and muscle weakness that moves down the body, according to the CDC.
I can hear it now, “No officer, I’m not drunk. I just ate a chili dog.”
Tossed my chili today!!
I was worried when I first heard this story. I currently possess 17 cans of Wolf Brand Chili Hot Dog Sauce. Last time my buddies came out here they went to the store and cleaned out the entire shelf of hot dog sauce and brought it to me because they don’t sell it here. I was relieved to learn that I did not have to dispose of my chili-based goodness.
