Consumers should not eat certain brands of French-cut green beans because
of concerns they could be tainted with the toxin that causes botulism, U.S.
health officials warned on Friday.


The FDA said the affected Lakeside French-cut green beans are sold
nationwide under the brands Albertson's, Happy Harvest, Best Choice, Food
Club, Bogopa, Valu Time, Hill Country Fare, HEB, Laura Lynn, Kroger, No
Name, North Pride, Shop N Save, Shoppers Valu, Schnucks, Cub Foods,
Dierbergs, Flavorite, IGA, Best Choice and Thrifty Maid.
The warning applies to cans with the following codes:
EAA5247, EAA5257, EAA5267, EAA5277, EAB5247, EAB5257, ECA5207,
ECA5217, ECA5227, ECA5297, ECB5207, ECB5217, ECB5227, ECB5307.
Consumers who have the products should dispose of them immediately, the FDA
said.
Botulism symptoms include dizziness, double vision, difficulty in breathing
and abdominal problems. People with those symptoms who may have eaten the
recalled green beans should seek immediate medical attention, the FDA said.
