WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal health officials say the Georgia
peanut plant at the center of the salmonella outbreak knowingly
shipped tainted products.
Previously, the Food and Drug Administration had said Peanut
Corp. of America retested products after getting an initial
positive result for salmonella. The agency said the company shipped
the goods after follow-up tests came back negative.
But Friday, the FDA said the company sent out peanut butter,
chopped peanuts and peanut meal that had tested positive even
before it got back any negative findings.
Peanut Corp. denies any wrongdoing. The government has opened a
criminal investigation.
