FDA Fumbles Salmonella Peanut Recall; Peanut Corp. to be Probed for Criminal MisconductBy Mike Adams, January 28, 2009 | Key concepts: Peanut butter, Salmonella and Peanut Corp The Georgia peanut processing plant responsible for the current wave of salmonella peanut frenzy across the U.S. reportedly knew its product was contaminated with salmonella, but decided to ship it anyway.USA Today is reporting that senior members of Congress are calling for a federal probe into the actions of Peanut Corp. of America that could include criminal misconduct. The peanut butter salmonella outbreak has so far sickened over 500 people and is thought to be the primary cause of death of eight people. The FDA, meanwhile, once again looks to be asleep at the wheel as yet another salmonella outbreak escapes the determined vigil of this government agency that claims to be protecting the public. But wait a minute: Is contaminated peanut butter really the most dangerous thing in the food supply? Not hardly: Aspartame, MSG, yeast extract, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, sodium nitrite and a few dozen other chemicals are routinely used in the U.S. food supply, and nobody blinks an eye (except for the aspartame consumers suffering from facial tics and seizures, of course). The fact that a peanut butter company shipped product that sickened 500 people, while disgusting, is relatively minor compared to the meat companies shipping bacon, sausage and processed meat products containing toxic chemicals known to cause cancer. So what's the real difference here? Salmonella kills you quickly, but other food chemicals kill you slowly. In essence, the FDA and members of Congress are adamantly against things in the food supply that kill you quickly, but they're completely OK with things in the food supply that kill you slowly. Salmonella in the peanut butter is hardly the most urgent issue facing the U.S. food supply these days. I'm not saying the actions of Peanut Corp. of America are excusable (they're not!), but if we're all gonna get riled up about food safety, let's start with the poisons being deliberately put into the foods, such as sodium nitrite, MSG and aspartame!
