How in the HELL could there be salmonella in the peanut butter

I read recently that there is yet again ANOTHER case of thousands
being sickened by salmonella in the peanut butter. How the hell does
this happen? Heat would kill the bacteria, and from my understanding,
the peanut butter is homogonized or pasturized, or something.
Processed at high temperatures.

The source was a broken sprinkler system which dripped from a leaky
roof onto the line filling the jars. As with most problems in our food
supply, file this one under "maximaze output--minimize expenses".

Thanks for the info. I wonder what recourse the average citizen has
against this company?

No.. not me, even though I DO worry about the peanut butter and
crackers I buy my wife, and the peanut butter "Protien bars" that I
eat... But I remember reading reports during the last PB recall where
people became very, very ill. Can these people sue the company
directly? I know class actions are organized, but I think all the
people get what? $1.66 each after expenses? Hardly worth any effort.

Sure, and isn't every Walmart purchase a vote that declares "cheap is
good - so keep doing whatever you need to do to make things cheap"?

The amount of entry points for contamination in most food production
chains is amazing. There are many systems existing to counter these
situations:eg HACCP, but some companies do not comply with these
rules. Factors leading to bad situations are numerous; laziness,
ignorance, disrespect of human health and very often for financial
considerations. Compliance can be expensive. Also, try to visit some
hotels and restaurants kitchens. Talk to people delivering food
products to some of these establishments. You might elect to eat home
more often.
