The company responsible for a ballooning recall of processed foods continued to manufacture and distribute a flavor-enhancing ingredient for a month after tests confirmed it was made with contaminated equipment, according to a Food and Drug Administration report.

In China the company execs would be executed.... time for some Chinese justice in America
Really? Is that why so many tainted products from China are still coming here?

They should be punished to the utmost extent. To knowingly continue to ship product for weeks that they knew was potentially contaminated is horrible.
Obviously the FDA needs more power to fix this type of blatant disregard for our health.
The personnel responsible for the decision to continue production should face criminal charges and be barred from employment is the food industry for life.
This is exactly why we need to have government regulation in industry. These people would kill us all - take our hard-earned money and give poisoned food- and never think twice about it.
The way the ranchers treat Downer cattle makes my hair stand on end
And, yeah- the Chinese treat this same problem just like Treason. I'm all for it.
Close them down! They KNEW, give them employees NOT involved in ANY of the process, money, and I hope they can find work. But the CEO, President, The monkey in charge of the shipping! JAIL!
It's stalled because of the food industry's lobbyists lining the pockets of the corrupt politicians in Washington. These people do not have your interests at heart...only re-election. Everyone sits on either side spewing BS and claiming they are the better party, but that sad thing is that there really aren't two parties any longer...just one. The party of GREED!
Beware, folks! All those chain restaurants advertising inexpensive but delicious meals where everyone is having a great time don't show you what happens to those people when they get home. You get what you pay for......and some people who don't stop to think are paying for illness.
and to think, some people want to leave control of health care in the hands of corporations like this one!
Such little faith in the world. Eat, enjoy, have kids, the future generations will thank you for helping them evolve into having natural immunity to it.
Gabriel, does that make sense to you? I don't know how it could have worked in the past, like some say. But when you put it in real time? Don't eat it, you might just get real sick and lessen your odds of survival.
It's time to tell the people in the white house on down,to get off your knee's to china and india and start protecting your own backyard.Or is this one of the most favored nation benefits we are going to give kenya for ripping off American bank accts.,impunity from the law to keep doing this,this is from our elderly'
See, if we weren't so broke from bailing out big banks that have been making the dollar worth progressively less each minute, allowed to do so by their partners in crime (politicians of both major stripes these days), our dollar would actually have enough value for us to pay a doctor bill (especially if the doctors were free from unreasonable litigation with forces higher malpractice rates) or buy REAL food instead of cheap component based food products, that are unhealthy enough when they aren't tainted.
Notice I am not blaming insurance companies, the only fiscally responsible corporate entities left... they were the only ones during the bank holidays of the depression era that actually paid out on time and in real currency and not IOUs that weren't worth the paper they were printed on. And they still are. I blame the lawyers (who as members of the judiciary should be excluded from serving in the legislative and executive branches... separation of powers don't ya know..)
But now the system finally has it's tool to kick the final stable financial pillar this country has out from under us... well... that's just heaven for some...
