| Abstract: | This case summarizes the available information on the 2007 Castleberry’s recall and food recalls in
general, and raises questions prompted by a recall of this magnitude. A massive, nationwide recall of
Castleberry’s canned food due to botulism in the summer of 2007 illustrates the complexity of the food
industry. Product from a single production line at a single plant, packed under 90 labels (the company’s
own store brands and foodservice), spurred a recall of tens of millions of cans of food. While every recall
is important and unique, the breadth of the Castleberry’s Food Company recall and the severe
consequences from botulism lend themselves to this exemplary case study. |
