The Oregon Food Bank has alerted five food pantries in Hood River County about the recall of three products.

Those alerted include the FISH food program, which has distribution sites in Parkdale and Hood River, the Hood River Valley Adult Center, Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Helping Hands Against Violence and St. Patrick’s Church Society in Cascade Locks.

“We did have someone bring back two cans Friday night,” said Lorenda Hoffman, the assistant site coordinator for FISH food bank. “We have posted the alert and labels from the cans at the church.”

Castleberry Food of Augusta, Ga., has issued a nationwide recall of canned food products due to possible botulism contamination. The Oregon Food Bank is asking anyone who received Morton House Chili (15-ounce), Morton House Beef Stew (20-ounce) or Castleberry Beef Stew (24-ounce) to return those cans to their agency or program from which they received it.
