The salmonella outbreak is starting to change the way the government oversees the safety of peanut butter and other foods.
The government is weighing whether to designate it as a high-risk food, much like juices and seafood.
The owner of the Peanut Corp. of America (PCA), the company that is the source of the massive salmonella outbreak, refused to answer the lawmakers’ questions at a hearing on Wednesday.
PCA owner Stewart Parnell defiantly told employees to ship to manufacturers of cookies, crackers and ice cream the bacteria-tainted products.
PCA filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy late yesterday.
