By now everybody knows that Peanut Corporation of America was lying about the rigged tests they arranged on their product, and actually shipped out product they knew had tested positive for salmonella.
Remember when we were told that at least they only sold to "institutional users"?? Those statements are "no longer operational"...
Contrary to its previous statements, Peanut Corp. of America now says it sold products directly to retail outlets such as dollar stores. As a result of the prior failure to acknowledge those sales, the retail items have not been named in the federal list of almost 1,800 products recalled in the national salmonella outbreak.
The retailers included Dollar Tree Stores, Dollar General, 99 Cent Stuff and 99 Cent Only stores, the company said in a press release. Brand names include Casey’s Dry Roasted Peanuts, Casey’s Honey Roasted Peanuts, Parnell’s Pride Dry Roasted Salted Peanuts and Reggie’s Ballpark Style Peanuts Original Salted, among others.

Personally, I now oppose President Obama's plan to close Gitmo and ban torture: We need somewhere to send these executives.
