An Obvious Conflict of Interest?
In regards to the peanut outbreak in the US Yahoo News reported:
WASHINGTON – The food industry's private inspection system failed to catch filthy conditions at a peanut company blamed for a nationwide salmonella outbreak because the firm itself hired the inspectors, lawmakers said Thursday.
Of course this is an obvious conflict of interest.
The article describes how:
Last summer, Peanut Corp.'s private inspector, a company called AIB, awarded the peanut processer a certificate in 2008 for "superior" quality at its Plainview, Texas, plant.
Peanut Corp is the company in the US that has caused the biggest salmonella outbreak ever.
