FDA: Basic Food Flavors knew of salmonella contamination in January

Food and Drug Administration inspectors said that Las Vegas-based Basic Food Flavors, Inc., knew of salmonella contamination on its equipment after it got the results of a private inspection on Jan. 21.
The federal officials said the company continued to distribute the ingredient, called hydrolyzed vegetable protein, until Feb. 15.
The FDA began an investigation of the company in response to a report from one of Basic Food Flavors' customers about salmonella contamination.

A government report says the company responsible for a sizable recall of processed foods Robert D. Read here---"continued to manufacture and distribute a flavor-enhancing ingredient for a month after tests confirmed it was made with contaminated equipment"
Mistake when you already know about it is called Negligence and becomes criminal negligence when someone gets hurt badly punishable by law I see no mistake made accept for not doing something immediately not a month later..
Robert D., how can you say Basic Foods take their product very seriously when in fact they continued to manufacture and distribute contaminated goods. Because of their NEGLIGENCE, they knew of the problem and continued to not only put lives at risk but also added to the unemployed. If they were such a serious employer, they would have taken steps to correct the problem sooner.
I did at least ten different remodels or add-ons there and know the place quite well. They are trying to clean up the place and have put millions into in the last 5 years. I can't speak for this occurance, but they did always try.

Basic food flavors is one of our customers. They do take there product very seriously. They also go through extreme measures to insure there product is handled and prepared as strictly and safely as possible. This has been an honest mistake. Hope to see them up and running very soon.
