Two Georgians Injured By Peanut Product Salmonella Food Poisoning

Our Georgia injury lawyers know that food poisoning cases can result in serious injury, and sometimes death. Just this week, federal officials announced that two Georgia citizens have been poisoned by salmonella found in peanut products and they warned consumers of dangers associated with more than 125 products recalled as part of a nationwide salmonella-and-peanuts Investigation. The Food and Drug Administration said products affected by the recall range from ice cream to pet foods. A list of recalled peanut products is available on the FDA website. The FDA’s investigation has revealed the common denominator among the cases is that all the products contained peanut paste or peanut butter made at a plant in Blakely, Georgia. At least 486 people in more than 40 states have gotten sick since the outbreak began in the fall. Six people have died.
