This is a fine example of whatsometimes happens when food companies are trusted to do the right thing and ship a safe product. This companyshipped peanut butter products that tested positiveforsalmonella.9 folks have died from samonella laced products from this companys plants: Hundreds more have been sickened.
Execution is too good for a guy like this company owner. Waterboard the sob until he tells the truth. [:@]
Summoned by congressional subpoena, the owner of Peanut Corp. of America repeatedly invoked his right not to incriminate himself at the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing on the salmonella outbreak that has sickened some 600 people, may be linked to nine deaths "” the latest reported in Ohio on Wednesday "” and resulted in one of the largest product recalls of more than 1,900 items.
Parnell sat stiffly, his hands folded in his lap at the witness table, as Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., held up a clear jar of his company's products wrapped in crime-scene tape and asked if he would eat them.
"Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, on advice of my counsel, I respectfully decline to answer your questions based on the protections afforded me under the U.S. Constitution," Parnell responded.
After he repeated the statement several times, lawmakers dismissed him from the hearing.
Shortly after Parnell's appearance, a lab tester told the panel that the company discovered salmonella at its Blakely, Ga., plant as far back as 2006. Food and Drug Administration officials told lawmakers more federal inspections could have helped prevent the outbreak.

Cowart said she made one visit to the plant at the company's request and pointed out problems with peanut roasting and storage of peanuts that could have led to the salmonella. She testified that Peanut Corp. officials said they believed the salmonella came from organic Chinese peanuts.
I think we should impeach Obama over this, don't you agree falcon? Please be consistant. It was only a few months back when you were cheering for Bush's impeechment over US Tomatos. Unfortunately for you, theproblem turned out to be a foreign pepper plant.[:-] Perhaps, you should join the fact finding group rather the lynch mob.

You don't know all the facts, yet your calling for the execution of the plant owner? Perhaps, maybe he should get his day in court? Weren't you also saying the terrorist held in gitmo should have their day in court? However, an american citizen, you would deny his day in court?

Yes, he evidently knew of possible contaminants, they have proof in conversations. I say Hang him. I do think that things will get alittle safer when Obama works over the FDA.
