What Really Caused The Peanut Butter Recall

On Thursday, the Texas Department of State Health Services issued an order to recall all peanut products that were made in the peanut Corporation in Plainview, Texas due to the discovery of dead rodents, their remains and bird feathers. This oder applies to all products that were made in the last two years. The ventilation system at the plant took in debris "from the infested crawl space into production areas of the plant resulting in the adultreration of exposed food products" a health departmen news release said. The manufacturing operations were stopped Monday night. This poisoning, also found at the company's other plant in Blakely, Georgia, has been linked to the recent national outbreak of salmonella poisoning which has affected 600 people and killed nine.
