Pebbles Found in Chili; Recall Started


According to Reuters, Windsor Food Co. Ltd. in Oklahoma is recalling 676,000 pounds of frozen chili products on the grounds that pebbles have been found in several 5 and 20 pound bags of their "Chili with Beans". The recall was announced on Friday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture after sixteen consumers found "foreign objects" in their food. Four of these people reported injuries. This contamination was found by joint commission of U.S.D.A. and Justice Department officials investigating branches of the company Peanut Corp of America, whose peanut butter caused the recent salmonella scare. According to the commission, the pebbled chili was produced between November 8th and January 13th and was distributed to various food service and limited retail establishments.
