Salmonella food poisoning outbreak is costing America more than peanuts
Peanut Corp. reportedly found salmonella in its own testing, then “lab shopped” to try to find a lab which would provide a favorable report. Meanwhile, it shipped tainted peanut products to consumers in various states. Many persons have been stricken with salmonella in Minnesota, California, Michigan, Ohio, Massachusetts and Virginia. Still more cases have arisen in Florida, Arizona, North Dakota, Texas, Idaho and New Hampshire. |
The latest atrocities reported from the front lines of America’s salmonella food poisoning battle indicate that the responsible company, Peanut Corporation of America, shipped products to consumers even prior to learning results of lab tests which would reveal salmonella.

Those folks were responsible for the deaths of at least six infants and illness that struck another 300,000 kids when they allowed raw milk to be watered down and mixed with melamine, a banned industrial chemical designed to make the milk seem protein-rich, even though it wasn’t. |
American food suppliers involved in the peanut butter salmonella food poisoning outbreak can count themselves lucky that they live here and not in China. In China today, a court condemned two men to execution and another person to life in prison for their roles in China’s recent tainted milk calamity.
