The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said at least 12 times over the past two years the Peanut Corporation of America has knowingly sold products that had tested positive for salmonella.
The FDA also claimed the company did nothing to improve its manufacturing and sanitation practices after salmonella was found in its plant, and that is a clear violation of the law.

In China they have charged the people responsible for the decision to expose the public to melamine(added to milk) with the homicide of those who died and they might receive the death sentence. How is this instance of greed any different and why should our moral response be any different???
For those who didn’t get SaveFarris’ joke… Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer.

No, increasing safety standards would mean hiring more people. It would have lowered profits. That’s the real sin.
