I was reading an article on yahoo news that a shipment of chopped peanuts from the plant that caused the salmonella outbreak were found with a bad smell when they were shipped to Canada.  The shipment was refused and returned to the US, where it was found by the FDA, and apparently confiscated.  Testing has shown that there were pieces of metal in the peanuts!

There is a lot of concern as to why there was not an investigation into the plant/company that shipped the peanuts at that time.  The article continues to state that if an investigation had been done at that time, the entire salmonella outbreak could have been avoided!  This is a serious charge; I wonder what will come of it!
