They wouldn't eat their own products becuase they knew...
Stewart Parnell, president of Peanut Corporation, and Sammy Lightsey, manager of the company’s Georgia plant, were subpoenaed by the committee. But invoking their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, they refused to answer questions.Documents made public Wednesday by the investigations subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee show that the company stopped using a private laboratory because too many tests done there showed contamination.
Mr. Parnell complained in e-mail messages to Mr. Lightsey that the positive salmonella tests were “costing us huge $$$$$ and causing obviously a huge lapse in time from the time we pick up peanuts until the time we can invoice.”
