Salmonella Scare at Texas Peanut Plant

Health officials in Texas say lab tests show there may have been salmonella at a shuttered Texas plant operated by the peanut company linked to a national outbreak. Texas health officials say the Peanut Corp. of America temporarily closed its plant in Plainview, Texas. Peanut Corp.'s Blakely, Ga. plant is blamed for a salmonella outbreak that has sickened 600 people and may have caused at least eight deaths.
