Peanut Corporation of America is Selfish and Greedy

Posted Tue January 27, 2009 12:00 pm, by Elizabeth D. written to Peanut Corporation of of America

Mr. Stewart Parnell:

Since your management is obviously so full of cowards that you have only left your media page up online, leaving the American public no other way to voice their anger towards you and your company, I have chosen to contact you via planetfeedback.com. I have no desire to put some call center worker out to let you know what a sad sack of crap you and your management are.

Knowingly distributing a salmonella tainted product into the food supply is a criminal act. Per several television and online news sources, your company sent a sample out from your GA plant for testing, received a positive salmonella reading and still consciously chose to inject it into the domestic food supply. Not to mention that particular plant was mentioned as having been cited numerous times for health code violations.

Your company is obviously run by some sick, selfish, greedy individuals, including yourself. "Family-run business" my foot. Y'all are no better than Bernie Madoff in my opinion.

Also, is someone in the GA DHEC system on your payroll? How have you stayed in business?

Don't we have enough to worry about domestically and internationally without hacks like you causing more problems with something we take for granted--safe food?

Either clean up your act or close your doors. If I worked for your company, I would have walked out by now. I would truly hate to see another American business go under and more people lose their jobs, but in this case, you and your "family-run" business deserve to fail because your greed has both sickened and killed innocent people. And anyone who was compliant in this INTENTIONAL distribution of a foodborne illness is as culpable as you are as CEO.

Disgustedly and Most Sincerely,
Elizabeth D.
South Carolina

Re: Peanut Corporation of America is Selfish and Greedy by Nornik Posted Sat January 31, 2009 @ 2:40 PM The following information has been posted on their contact us part of their site since 2004 until they took that page completely off their servers. Hope this information helps. Please be sure to voice to them about the risks they put our children in for $$. My kids could have gotten sick or even died all because they love those mini peanut butter crackers.

Reply I see by Donno Posted Wed January 28, 2009 @ 3:57 PM where the company also did not initially reveal to the FDA during the current outbreak investigation that they had received the positive tests for salmonella. Reply Re: Peanut Corporation of America is Selfish and Greedy by dulynoted (aka duttycalls) Posted Wed January 28, 2009 @ 7:54 AM Thanks for the source Venice. As always you are on top of these things. This company seems to have chosen to ignore the health of all persons who would come in contact with their product. Parnell will probably state that his subordinates never informed him of these reports and expect them to take the fall. But I am sure if the middle management is going to fall so is the upper managemnt and owner. I hope they do bring this man and his company up on charges that they deliberately allowed their product to be sold to companies around the country knowing that they had salmonella outbreaks in their plant And since there have been deaths reported from this particular salmonella outbreak then charges of murder should also be brought against him and his family. Choosing money over people...only the worst can ever come of this.

Whereas the cause of the outbreak may quite possibly due to improper food handling, continuing operations after the presence in product is confirmed sounds possibly criminal. I couldn't find anything that reports this. The fact salmonella was confirmed to come from PCA, yes. But not that they continued operations afterwards.
