The AP (9/24, Henry) reported “Food manufacturers in Georgia may be dodging a first-of-its-kind law requiring that they inform state food inspectors when their products test positive for contamination.” The state “adopted the law after a deadly salmonella outbreak that killed nine people and sickened hundreds more was traced back to a filthy southwest Georgia peanut producer.” But auditors last summer, “accompanied Agriculture Department inspectors on a tour of 11 facilities”; and according to their report, six of the facilities “said they were not following the red flag law because they did not know about it, did not understand the regulations or were waiting for state officials to review their food safety plans.” Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black’s “department later told auditors all but two of those facilities were conducting testing, though workers present for the inspection may not have known it.”
