Boy, it seems like a luck of the draw not to get sick from eating something nowadays. I have purchased this in the past, and if I still lived near a Kroger I might have had it on hand right now. I just read this in today's Chicago Tribune:

"Hot dog chili sauce linked to botulism

Federal health officials warned consumers Wednesday to throw away certain cans of hot dog chili sauce after the product was linked to the first cases of botulism in commercially canned foods in decades. Four people, including two in Indiana, were hospitalized.
The warning applies to 10-ounce cans of Castleberry's, Austex and Kroger brands of hot dog chili sauce with "best by" dates from April 30, 2009, through May 22, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration said. It wasn't clear how widely the products were distributed."
