Hey, What is it with Georgia and Salmonella Peanut Butter?

By Bill Marler, Esq.

I like rural Georgia, even more so now that Lynchburg, Virginia based Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) said that they actually made the product - 5-pound tubs of peanut butter for "King Nut" and "Parnell's Pride" in its Blakely, Georgia Plant.

According to Mr. Parnell - "I have been making peanut butter for 30 some years and I have never had any issues with salmonella, that's for sure.  I have spent over thirty years building up this business and a reputation."

The peanut butter ended up at institutions like nursing homes and schools. It was not available to the general public.

Now that it's become a very public issue, we will keep an eye on it.
