Bush’s Baked Beans Are Being Recalled for Defective Cans
As of July 22, 2017, Bush Brothers & Company has issued a voluntary recall on three flavors of its iconic baked beans. The issue stems from defective side seams on the can, says Fox News.
The three varieties in question are 28-ounce cans of Bush’s Brown Sugar Hickory Baked Beans, Country Style Baked Beans and Original Baked Beans. According to a press release from the company, the issue was discovered during quality assurance checks, but it has since been resolved and “no other product is affected.” They are also working with stores to ensure that all products are removed from shelves in a “timely manner.”

Bush Brothers & Company advise that people who purchased the cans in question should immediately dispose of them — even if they do not smell or appear as if they have gone bad. Fortunately, there have been no cases of illness as a result of consumption of these beans.
