Peanut Butter Salmonella Outbreak Update
The latest news in the peanut butter salmonella outbreak is disgusting and shocking. In case you have not been following this news, the Peanut Corp. of America is responsible for an outbreak of salmonella food poisoning in 43 States. Hundreds of people have been infected with salmonella, and 9 people have actually died from the food poisoning. The salmonella strain was traced to one of Peanut Corp.’s plants in Blakely, Georgia, where multiple strains of salmonella were found by government health inspectors.
Now, another one of Peanut Corp.’s factories have been shut down. This plant in Plainview, Texas, was shut down after dead rodents, rodent excrement, and bird feathers were discovered in the plant. Peanut Corp. has issued a recall of all products ever shipped from this plant, which opened in March 2005.
This is disgusting and truly outrageous. It is clear that not even the most basic health standards were followed at either plant. The fact that such terrible conditions existed at two plants shows the problem was not limited to one bad manager or employer. Instead, the entire company was negligent in how it maintained its conditions. I hope the Peanut Corp. is held accountable to the fullest possible extent of the law.
When someone is infected with salmonella, the best thing to do is educate yourself about food poisoning and take steps to either avoid the highly contagious infection and, especially if you do become infected, drink lots of fluids to avoid dehydration. You should also learn more about the ways a Michigan food poisoning lawyer can help you hold the person or company responsible for your food poisoning accountable.
