Behind this mass poisoning was the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) and CEO Stuart Parnell. This article provides a background about salmonella and the operations of PCA so readers can understand the criminal wrongdoing and outcome of the criminal trial. Using news reports and information from a former assistant plant manager, it documents the unsanitary conditions and the violation of virtually all Good Manufacturing Practices. These conditions cause widespread salmonella, thus adultrating their product and leading to fraud to cover up the problem.
