Remember the peanut butter/salmonella outbreak? http://www.foodwhistleblower.org/the-lifecycle-of-food/the-problems-of-processing/contamination/kenneth-kendrick

Between September 1, 2008 and April 20, 2009, salmonella-tainted peanut butter originating from the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) sickened 714 people across 46 states, contributing to nine deaths. Prior to the outbreak, former PCA assistant plant manager in Plainview, Texas, Kenneth Kendrick, had made multiple attempts to alert both state and federal officials to numerous public health violations he was witnessing.

The State of Texas, embarrassed, has at last taken action. The Department of Health conducted a statewide probe, discovering that 355 companies were manufacturing and selling food without a state license.
