I don't want to become the blog of doom and gloom, but here's another important recall that might affect you. I know my family loves green beans (except Tim), but we'll be double-checking our cans due to the botulism green bean recall.
It looks like this affects a lot of regional and store brands of french style green beans, including Albertson's, Kroger and Winn Dixie. Botulism is nothing to chance, so look at your pantry today. You can die from this. Trouble aside, I love how easy it is to find things like photos of green beans on the internet - gotta love that.

We ate these before recall issued. Any update after August 7.
I'm sorry to hear that - you should probably speak with your health department or doctor. I can't find a more recent update but will post one when I do.
