NC State Expert Can Provide Key Insights On Peanut Salmonella Scare and Recall

The most recent news on the Salmonella outbreak that has been tied to a peanut processing facility in Georgia is raising questions about the safety of all peanuts and peanut-containing products that have come out of that facility since January 2007. North Carolina State University food safety specialist Ben Chapman is available to provide insight on what has happened so far, what may happen next and what it means for public health.

“Being proactive and keeping food that has tested positive off of the plates of consumers is good for public health,” Chapman stresses. “Waiting until illnesses are reported is irresponsible and demonstrates a lack of concern for customers.”
