"Moisture Led to Salmonella Outbreak" Peanut Butter

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Moisture from a leaky roof and faulty sprinkler helped salmonella bacteria grow and contaminate peanut butter at its Georgia plant last year, sickening more than 400 people nationwide, ConAgra Foods said Thursday.

The Omaha-based company conducted a nearly two-month investigation into the contamination and pledged to ensure that Peter Pan peanut butter is safe when it returns to stores in mid-July.

"Consumer safety and health is our top priority," ConAgra spokeswoman Stephanie Childs said. "We plan to do our best to regain consumer trust once Peter Pan returns to stores."

Childs said the company traced the salmonella outbreak to three problems at its Sylvester, Ga., plant last August.

Fuck off assholes. I cannot even believe someone would be stupid enough to buy it after this, obviously their corporate culture is one oriented toward profits and not people.

and while I can't speak for their product lines the employees speak very highly of ConAgra. They do take good care of their people but maybe that's the problem their not taking care of all people.
