Title: Mass Salmonella Poisoning by the Peanut Corporation of America

Summary: In late 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention first noted an outbreak of salmonella that would ultimately kill nine, hospitalize 166, cause up to 20,000 illnesses and lead to the recall of 4,000 products. 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.
