A Michigan food producer is recalling its peanut products, sold in Rhode Island among other states, because of possible salmonella contamination, according to the Associated Press. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. Involved in the recall are seven-ounce packages of chocolate-covered peanuts and bulk chocolate-covered peanuts produced by Kilwin's Quality Confections and sold before April 1.

What ever happened to Stewart Parnell? He is the owner and president of PCA (Peanut Corp. of America). He decided to ship known contaminated foods that caused the deaths of 9 people and another 690+ people needed medical attention....His company is bankrupt putting about 90 emplyoee out of work and he is hiding behind corporate bankruptcy laws....Parnell also served on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Peanut Standards Board, which sets quality and handling standards for peanuts. He was first appointed by Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns to the position in 2005
