The California Department of Public Health is warning consumers to not eat soups from One Gun Ranch and Organic Soup Kitchen because they may have been improperly produced, making them susceptible to Clostridium botulinum. That bacteria flourishes in low oxygen (anerobic) environments such as canned foods, and is a particular problem in low-acid canned foods.

Botulism is a nerve toxin that is produced by the bacteria. Symptoms include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, and a dry sore throat, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and paralysis. If you have purchased these soups, throw them away immediately and wash your hands with soap and water. No illnesses are linked to these products at this time.
NO ONE HAS GOTTEN ILL & NO TEST HAVE BEEN MADE. I wish you had professional writers that would do a little research instead of creating a blood bath. Drama always makes good news.
All we’re doing is reporting on the recall; this information is straight from the CADPH. Any low-acid canned food that is not properly processed is a risk for botulism. I hardly think that a recall is a “blood bath”. And I’ve done plenty of research on this topic, thank you. The CA Department of Public Health is being responsible here and performing their public duty. As are we.
