| Salmonella-Tainted Peanut Butter Sold on Purpose? |

This just in: The Washington Post reports that Peanut Corporation of America, the company responsible for a salmonella outbreak that has sickened more than 500 people in 43 states, discovered salmonella in internal tests a dozen times in 2007 and 2008 but sold their products anyway. Ouch. But this hurts, too: "Companies are not required to disclose their internal tests to either the FDA or state regulators, so health officals did not know of the problem." Still, FDA officials say that "it appears" Peanut Corp. violated federal law. The death toll associated with the salmonella contamination has grown to seven. At least one lawsuit has been filed. The source of the contamination is still unknown, though there's a history of unsanitary conditions at this Georgia plant. The average plant is inspected once every 10 years, but even those inspected more frequently, like this one, prove unsafe when regulations aren't enforced. It was after the contamination event involving ConAgra's Peter Pan brand that food safety experts found salmonella could "exist in a dormant state in peanut butter and then reproduce when ingested by humans." FDA has a history of not enforcing regulations and performing enough inspections. Will the new administration heed the call for improvements in the face of avoidable deaths?

Is it just a matter of greed that inspires company's to put the need for profit over the health of the general population? It would seem so based on the actions of our government during the past eight years. This story should cause a public outcry over the lack of federal regulation.
