Comment from the contributor:
From Reuters -- Congress is going after U.S. firms who purchased tainted peanut products for failing to check that the products were safe. Companies like Kellogg Co. and King Nut Corp defended their purchases, saying that it is industry standard to use third-party firms for safety checks. "The U.S. food industry has been shaken by a salmonella outbreak tied to peanut products that led to the recall of more than 3,400 products, from crackers to ice cream. It was the largest food recall in U.S. history."
