I've been following this for awhile now since it's right down the road....
ATLANTA - First, federal investigators said the president of a U.S. peanut processing company knowingly shipped salmonella-tainted foods even after internal tests showed they were contaminated. Then they revealed the evidence: e-mails Stewart Parnell sent to his employees urging them to ship out the products that authorities say ultimately sickened hundreds of people and may have caused the deaths of nine. Federal authorities, who started an investigation last month, have remained tightlipped about possible charges against Parnell, head of the Virginia-based Peanut Corp. of America. So has the FBI, which raided the company's Georgia plant about a week ago. But food safety attorneys say prosecutors have an array of options for what could be one of the Food and Drug Administration's most high-profile tainted food cases in decades. http://www.cherokeetribune.com/conte...em/127964.html |
