Tell me you're as enraged as I am after reading this story of the CEO of Peanut Corp. of America pleading the Fifth. You can read it by clicking here. I'm not sure what angers me the most the fact that the CEO knowingly instructs his managers to distributed the tainted products or that his managers sent them out as instructed. Did they all hold their collective breath?
Their emails prove that they all knew about the contamination. Why all the emails on what to do? Big corporations like that surely have thick books on policies and procedures. You'd think they had one that said, all products tested positive for food-borne pathogens should be destroyed immediately. Period.
I should say that they are innocent until proven guilty and that they're still under investigation.
