Food Safety Report (Is Company Greed Killing us – Peanut Butter Recall)
This week the FDA accused Sunland Inc. of knowingly distributing to the public product that was contaminated. Sunland Inc. immediately published a statement from its CEO denying these accusations.
The problem comes down to who should we believe? The FDA or Sunland.
My personal question comes down to what are the facts. It is up to us, the general population on who to believe. We will have to use our Common Sense and “our gut” feeling to make our final decisions.
Facts are
- In September 2012 Sunland and Trader’s Joe have a massive recall of peanut butter and peanut products for Salmonella. (Source: CBS News)
- A FDA inspections reveals a plant in New Mexico is the source of 9 kinds of salmonella. (Source: NBCNews)
- The Sunland New Mexico plant was cited for poor cleaning practices and Food Safety practices causing cross contamination. (Source: NBCNews)
- FDA Inspectors found peanuts in open trailers exposed to the weather and animals. (Source: NBCNews)
- Sunland own internal inspection system documented up to 13 types of salmonella in its peanut butter products. (Source: NBCNews)
- Sunland also received a customer complaint in May 2011that a child had developed anaphylactic shock after eating almond butter that contained peanut allergens. (Source: NBCNews).
- Sunland Inc tries to distance itself from a old Salmonella outbreak by promoting its own self auditing process (Source: Sunland Inc.)
In my opinion, Sunland latest statement of no fault is a lame attempt to avoid prosecution. The facts show that Sunland has been disregarding not only consumer complaints but it’s own internal auditors in order to push out a product and make a profit. This is the same audit process that they tried to promote over a company called King Nut, back in 2009.
Due to the poor sanitation conditions at the New Mexico plant, the auditor’s reports and the consumer complaints, Sunland Inc. was more worried about profit then the safety of the consumer. It was inevitable that one day a problem would be shipped to consumers. Granted this was a very minor outbreak and no fatalities were reported. But this could have been a lot worst.
Now it is up to us, should we buy any product from Sunland Inc? They have already proved that they do not care what they produce into the US Food Supply chain. Now in the end the US FDA will slap a fine on them, mounting to no more a few million and this company will be free to do this again to the US Food Chain.
It is up to us to make our decision, do we want to monetarily support this company and worry about what we are truly eating or do we protest them hoping to make a change to the US Food Supply system. This type of incidents are happen all too often nowadays. We need to do something and if the US government can’t then the US consumer must.
Now this is my opinion but the references and the research is here for you to make your own choices.
