Question

Jason trevor owns a commercial bakery in blakely, georgia that produces a variety of goods sold in grocery stores. trevor is required by law to perform internal tests on food produced at his plant to check for contamination. during one three month period, three tests of food products containing peanut butter were positive for salmonella contamination. trevor was not legally required to report the results to u.s. food and drug administration officials, so he did not. instead, trevor instructed his employees to repeat the tests until the results were negative. meanwhile, the products that had originally tested positive for salmonella were eventually shipped out to retailers. five people who ate trevor’s baked goods that year became seriously ill, and one person died from a salmonella infection.

Answer 1

Unsure if there is a question posed or implied here. In any event, Trevor should have immediately researched and documented the suspect batch(es) of peanut butter, contacted any retailers who may have received the contaminated batches and then confirmed that those batches had been returned to his plant and destroyed. At the same time he should have instructed his employees to shut down the production of peanut butter, destroy the plants current output, and completely clean, inspect and retest the line in order to ensure that uncontaminated peanut butter was being produced. During this self-inspection stage, he shoudl have also notified the US FDA and reported onwhat had been done and documented.
