We have another food recall today: Bush Brothers & Co has announced a voluntary recall of Bush’s baked beans.
On Saturday, the company said it would be recalling all 28-oz cans of Bush’s Best Brown Sugar Hickory Baked Beans, Bush’s Country Style Beans, and Bush’s Original Baked Beans. Apparently, the threat, though, is a defective side seam on the cans.
And in a time of massive listeria recalls, this one seems slightly less concerning. Internal quality assurance checks at Bush Brothers is what led to the voluntary recall; one that seems a bit on the safer side after months and months of listeria concerns throughout the food industry.
