A salmonella outbreak at a Georgia peanut butter plant hasn’t hurt the company’s profits. Nebraska-based Con Agra says it earned $193 million dollars in the third quarter. Earlier this year, salmonella was linked to Con Agra’s Sylvester plant near Albany. The company says recalling peanut butter made at the facility would cost up to $60 million dollars. At least 425 people in 44 states got sick and Con Agra faces several class action lawsuits. Production at the Sylvester plant has yet to resume.
