Salmonella Peanut Butter Update | Michigan Food Poisoning Lawyers
The Salmonella peanut butter outbreak appears to be ongoing. The Salmonella has already infected several hundred people in 43 States and Canada, and several people have actually died due to the food poisoning. The Salmonella had earlier been traced to peanut butter made by Peanut Corp. of America at its Blakely, Georgia plant. Peanut Corp. makes peanut butter that is sold to institutions such as nursing homes and food manufactures. So far, individual jars of peanut butter which are sold directly to consumers at the grocery store have not been affected.
The presence of Salmonella in food products has lead to the recall of many products such as cakes, candy bars, cookies, and other food products containing peanut butter. A list is available at the FDA’s Peanut Butter Product Recall website.
According to the latest reports, multiple strains of Salmonella have been isolated at Peanut Corp.’s Blakely plant. Most disturbingly, the strains which have been isolated are NOT the one that is responsible for the Salmonella outbreak. It is very clear that the conditions at this plant are unsanitary and unsafe and they very likely fall far below legally mandated health and safety levels.
If I could give advice to anyone who has been infected with Salmonella from peanut butter, I would urge them to report their illness and to strongly consider hiring an attorney to discuss filing a lawsuit against Peanut Corp. and any other guilty parties because it is very clear that they have acted improperly and should be held accountable for the suffering they have caused.
The Michigan food poisoning lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. are very familiar with Salmonella and have represented many clients who have suffered from Salmonella. I encourage you to read our article about Salmonella food poisoning or to contact us.
