Peanuts not really that safe

The recent crisis covering the broad realm of peanuts must have George Washington Carver turning over in his grave. The biggest problem will continue to be recalling all affected products and regaining the publics trust in the manufacturing process. The most recent example of a poorly constructed warehouse stored raw peanuts with finished goods underneath a leaky roof. Furthermore, the strains of salmonella turned out to be resistant to antibiotics. Many companies are now looking for an alternative to GA grown peanuts to dispel the public's fears.
