More items added as peanut recall expands

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency on Thursday said two more products had been recalled due to concerns they contained salmonella-contaminated peanuts. The plant owned by the Peanut Coroparation of America in blakley, GA is under investagation after contamanated product was shipped out. over 666 illness have been reported and 9 deaths in the US nothing reported in Canada said the CFIA.

Eating food contaminated with salmonella may cause salmonellosis which could cause serious and sometimes deadly infections in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, the agency said. The stake holders in this outbreak are companys that have peanut oils or peanuts in their product such as peanut butter companys or chocolate bar companys etc, which leads to the consumor. This is the second mass recall for this company. The CFIA is telling consumers to throw away the goods. What a waste of money!!!!!
