Tainted Peanut Butter Plant Freshens Up

ConAgra Faces Lawsuits Over Salmonella Sickness

 

POSTED: 3:30 pm CDT August 6, 2007

 

SYLVESTER, Ga. -- The Georgia plant where thousands of peanut butter jars linked

to a salmonella outbreak were filled is expected to reopen.

 

ConAgra Foods said it is in the final stages of getting the plant up and running

after spending at least $15 million on renovations.

 

The plant was shut down in February when jars of Peter Pan and Great Value

peanut butter were linked to the outbreak that made more than 600 people sick.

 

 

 

The company said a leaky roof and a faulty sprinkler provided moisture that

awakened dormant salmonella bacteria in the plant. The company said it has fixed

those problems.

 

The renovated plant will also have a new design to better separate raw materials

from the finished product.

 

ConAgra still faces lawsuits in several states.
