More food related than food, and not quite yet to the lawsuit stage, but likely coming soon.

ABC|35 minutes ago
A recent record number of cases of polymer fume fever, also known as "Teflon flu," are putting a spotlight on one of the most common causes of the condition, the use of nonstick pans.
Per what I heard on the radio it’s going to be ugly for them. Processing plant had obvious mold, mildew and for whatever reason it was ignored.Not so silly. Will they be able to survive the lawsuits?

Inspection reports from the Boar’s Head facility in Jarratt, Virginia, have described insects, mold, “blood in puddles on the floor” and a “rancid smell in the cooler” at various points since 2022.
September 2022, when “major deficiencies” with the plant’s physical conditions were identified, including rusty equipment, peeling and flaking paint, loose caulk, holes in walls, product residue on surfaces and dripping condensation. The reports said plant management was notified and directed to take corrective action.
Seven million lbs recalled, that's a serious lack of attention or just don't give a shit.. Disgusting.
I'm not happy that people are losing their jobs, but Boar's Head can fuck right off. With years of warnings about the plant's condition, they did nothing and continued to put public health at risk (with the last I saw, at least 9 dead and 50 hospitalized). As Upton Sinclair showed us 100 years ago, meat packers will cut corners without proper oversight.Gotta say I'm not wild about seeing so many people out of work.
Boar’s Head closing Virginia plant linked to deadly listeria outbreak
Boar’s Head is closing the Virginia plant tied to a deadly listeria outbreak. The Sarasota, Florida-based company said it will also permanently discontinue production of liverwurst, the product linked to the deaths of at least nine people in the U.S.
After consulting our legal council it was deemed more economical to run the plant until it gets shut down. The mitigation can happen then. As an added bonus we can reduce our labour cost when we hire fresh hands.
I am suspecting it is to stymie efforts to identify witnesses, evidence, or any other relevant thing by discovery, and to limit whistleblowing. Replacing the food safety expert ends any further liability, if any, the old one for his position as well.Now this is something the shareholders can get behind. The CEO deserves a raise and a bonus.
