The recall is a safety precaution brought about by some cans possibly being under-processed. The beans may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism. No illnesses have been reported, and no toxin has been found in any of the cans. But better be safe than sorry, so scan your pantries once again for these products.
