"Walmarting" to me means they screw suppliers and weed them out until only a few are left over where they will then be able to use their market power to capture all the profits. I think OT was talking about local grown food and supplies like it used to be in the old days. When Walmart signs up a big company, they do volume but really really decrease profits then ask you to look into your own books so they can extract everything.
They break the Robinson Patman Act in doing so but who cares about the law when you have a president and enough congressmen so the laws don't get enforced and don't matter.

Knew that was coming. Some of these peanuts/products may have gone into FEMA packages. It definitely needs to be revamped.

Possibly tainted peanut butter sent to schools
Feb 6, 9:19 AM (ET)
By MARY CLARE JALONICK
Victim of Food Poisoning?
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Agriculture Department shipped possibly contaminated peanut butter and other foods to schools in at least three states under a contract with the Georgia company blamed for a nationwide salmonella outbreak.
The government abruptly suspended all business with the company Thursday, as officials defended their efforts to halt the outbreak that has sickened at least 575 people in 43 states. At least eight have died. It's become one of the largest food recalls ever, including more than 1,300 products.
The potentially contaminated products went to school free lunch programs in California, Minnesota and Idaho in 2007, the Department of Agriculture said Friday. Peanut butter and roasted peanuts processed by the Peanut Corp. of America were sent to the schools.

Fallout from peanut recalls spreads in Michigan
BY MEGHA SATYANARAYANA • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • February 6, 2009
One of the broadest recalls in U.S. history -- 1,554 foods containing peanuts, peanut butter or peanut paste -- is being felt throughout Michigan by consumers, grocers and food producers.
The dizzying array of snacks, prepackaged meals, fund-raiser candy and pet treats on the recall list continues to grow. Legislators including U.S. Reps. Bart Stupak and John Dingell, both Michigan Democrats, are lining up bills to empower the Food and Drug Administration, which has come under fire for what some say is a slow response to an outbreak that began last fall.
A dozen Michigan-based companies are bracing for losses from recalling their products, including national giant Kellogg in Battle Creek and regional operations such as Hudsonville Creamery in Holland.
Stores such as Kroger are using data from customer loyalty cards to warn customers by phone, mail and e-mail of items they purchased that could make them sick. Others are barring recalled products from leaving the store.
"When the bar code is scanned at the register, it alerts the cashier, and it's stopped at the point of sale," said Frank Guglielmi, spokesman for Grand Rapids-based Meijer. It's a fail-safe, he said, as recalled products are pulled.
At the Royal Oak Meijer store, a Free Press reporter tried to purchase a recalled Atkins Advantage Chocolate Peanut Butter bar. At the register, the cashier said, "Oh, the computer said this one's recalled. It's got that peanut butter in it. I don't know why it's still on the shelf -- shouldn't be, but the computer won't let those through."
The current salmonella outbreak, which peaked in mid-December, to date has sickened 25 people in Michigan, and an additional 584 in 43 other states and Canada. Eight people have died, but none in Michigan.
The USDA said this past week that it would no longer buy Peanut Corp. products, and that it was tracking down what might be left of 32 truckloads of the company's goods shipped to schools in Idaho, Minnesota and California in 2007.
Traceback needs to be incorperated between all FDA and USDA groups with due diligence and oversight .

More than 200 peanut-related products now on Canada's recall list
1 day ago
TORONTO — The number of snack foods being recalled in Canada because of the deadly salmonella outbreak from tainted peanut products in the U.S. now tops 200.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has added another 30 products to its recall list including snack bars from Pit Bull and Atkins Advantage and bags and cans of peanuts and bridge mix and ice cream from brands such as Madelaine, Ice Cream Specialties Inc., and North Star.
"Right now there's a total of 44 Canadian-manufactured products and 169 United States products, which brings us to a total of 213 products to date being recalled," CFIA spokesman Garfield Balsom said Saturday.
The agency said the recalled foods contain peanut products including butter or paste, as well as whole, crushed and powdered peanuts that have been recalled in the U.S. and Canada by Peanut Corp. of America due to salmonella contamination. The recalled snack foods may have been distributed nationally.
The salmonella outbreak has been blamed for at least eight deaths and 575 illnesses in 43 states and more than 1,550 products have been recalled in the U.S.
Balsom says no confirmed illnesses in Canada have been recorded. But a New Brunswick resident who purchased a product in the United States while travelling is among those who became ill in the U.S.
Eating food contaminated with salmonella may cause the illness salmonellosis, which can cause high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea in otherwise healthy people. But in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, the CFIA said salmonellosis may cause serious and sometimes deadly infections.
The U.S. Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into the Peanut Corp. of America's Blakely, Ga., plant which inspection records show was shipping salmonella-laced peanuts as far back as 2007 that it knew were probably tainted and sometimes after tests had confirmed such contamination.
A Peanut Corp. lawyer said the company is investigating what happened at the plant and had no comment on the latest FDA findings.
"We have not made a determination yet on liability," said lawyer Amy Rotenberg. "We are neither denying or admitting liability at this point. We are still investigating."
"The investigation in the United States is quite large," said Balsom.
"There's a tremendous amount of product going back to 2007, and that investigation from our knowledge is still continuing. We're still getting information as the trace back continues with regard to Canadian product."
Officials at CFIA are "working around the clock, seven days a week" to identify and remove all affected products imported into Canada from the U.S. "We have staff in our office that are compiling information on a daily basis and we'll continue to do that until the... traceback is finished," said Balsom.
The agency has posted a list of recalled products on its website as well as links to the websites of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Petsmart and the Canadian Humane Society, which list recalled pet treats.
On Friday, Oregon Public Health officials confirmed the state's first salmonella-related illness in a dog from tainted peanut products. They said the three-year-old mixed breed dog named Levi got sick late last month after eating Happy Tails multi-flavoured dog biscuits.

TORONTO — The number of snack foods being recalled in Canada because of the deadly salmonella outbreak from tainted peanut products in the U.S. now tops 200.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has added another 30 products to its recall list including snack bars from Pit Bull and Atkins Advantage and bags and cans of peanuts and bridge mix and ice cream from brands such as Madelaine, Ice Cream Specialties Inc., and North Star.
"Right now there's a total of 44 Canadian-manufactured products and 169 United States products, which brings us to a total of 213 products to date being recalled," CFIA spokesman Garfield Balsom said Saturday.
The agency said the recalled foods contain peanut products including butter or paste, as well as whole, crushed and powdered peanuts that have been recalled in the U.S. and Canada by Peanut Corp. of America due to salmonella contamination. The recalled snack foods may have been distributed nationally.
The salmonella outbreak has been blamed for at least eight deaths and 575 illnesses in 43 states and more than 1,550 products have been recalled in the U.S.
Balsom says no confirmed illnesses in Canada have been recorded. But a New Brunswick resident who purchased a product in the United States while travelling is among those who became ill in the U.S.
Eating food contaminated with salmonella may cause the illness salmonellosis, which can cause high fever, severe headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea in otherwise healthy people. But in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, the CFIA said salmonellosis may cause serious and sometimes deadly infections.
The U.S. Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into the Peanut Corp. of America's Blakely, Ga., plant which inspection records show was shipping salmonella-laced peanuts as far back as 2007 that it knew were probably tainted and sometimes after tests had confirmed such contamination.
A Peanut Corp. lawyer said the company is investigating what happened at the plant and had no comment on the latest FDA findings.
"We have not made a determination yet on liability," said lawyer Amy Rotenberg. "We are neither denying or admitting liability at this point. We are still investigating."
"The investigation in the United States is quite large," said Balsom.
"There's a tremendous amount of product going back to 2007, and that investigation from our knowledge is still continuing. We're still getting information as the trace back continues with regard to Canadian product."
Officials at CFIA are "working around the clock, seven days a week" to identify and remove all affected products imported into Canada from the U.S. "We have staff in our office that are compiling information on a daily basis and we'll continue to do that until the... traceback is finished," said Balsom.
The agency has posted a list of recalled products on its website as well as links to the websites of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Petsmart and the Canadian Humane Society, which list recalled pet treats.
On Friday, Oregon Public Health officials confirmed the state's first salmonella-related illness in a dog from tainted peanut products. They said the three-year-old mixed breed dog named Levi got sick late last month after eating Happy Tails multi-flavoured dog biscuits.

Comments at hearing in Washington;
Stewart Parnell, owner of Peanut Corp. of America, repeatedly invoked his right not to incriminate himself before the House subcommittee holding a hearing on a national salmonella outbreak blamed on his company. The outbreak has sickened some 600 people, may be linked to nine deaths — the latest reported in Ohio on Wednesday — and has resulted in one of the largest product recalls of more 1,800 items.
Parnell sat stiffly, his hands folded in his lap at the witness table, as Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., held up a clear jar of his company's products wrapped in crime scene tape and asked him if he would be willing to eat the food.
"Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, on advice of my counsel, I respectively decline to answer your questions based on the protections afforded me under the U.S. Constitution," Parnell said.
After repeating the statement several times, he was dismissed from the hearing.
Shortly afterward, a lab tester testified that the company discovered salmonella at its Georgia plant as far back as 2006.
The House panel released e-mails obtained by its investigators showing Parnell ordered products identified with salmonella shipped and quoting his complaints that tests discovering the contaminated food were "costing us huge $$$$$$."
In mid-January after the national outbreak was tied to his company, Parnell told Food and Drug Administration officials that his workers "desperately at least need to turn the raw peanuts on our floor into money." In another exchange, he told his plant manager to "turn them loose" after products once deemed contaminated were cleared in a second test.
Parnell's response to a final lab test last year showing salmonella was about how much it would cost, and the impact lab testing was having on moving his products.
"We need to discuss this," he wrote in an Oct. 6 e-mail to Sammy Lightsey, his plant manager. "The time lapse, beside the cost is costing us huge $$$$$$ and causing obviously a huge lapse in time from the time we pick up peanuts until the time we can invoice."
Lightsey also invoked his right not to testify when he appeared alongside Parnell before the subcommittee.
The disclosures came in correspondence released by a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee Wednesday during a hearing on the salmonella outbreak.
"Their behavior is criminal, in my opinion. I want to see jail time," said Jeffrey Almer, whose 72-year-old mother died Dec. 21 in Minnesota of salmonella poisoning after eating Peanut Corp.'s peanut butter. Almer and other relatives of victims urged lawmakers to approve mandatory product recalls and improve public notice about contaminated food.
A federal criminal investigation is under way.
Darlene Cowart of JLA USA testing service said the company contacted her in November 2006 to help control salmonella discovered in the plant.
Cowart said she made one visit to the plant at the company's request and pointed out problems with its peanut roasting process and storage of raw and finished peanuts together that could have led to the salmonella. She testified that Peanut Corp. officials said they believed the salmonella came from organic Chinese peanuts.

Yep-- but thats just a surprise to me- that we're importing peanuts....Just as surprising as it is to most consumers when they actually find out the US imports beef...
Old Congressman Stupak sure wanted to tear Parnall a new arse-- but every question he took the 5th...
He needs a swift trial and dank, dark cell......

They are replaying the hearings on C-SPAN again right now... I think some of the victims relatives that testified- after all the evidence introduced showed it was knowingly and intentional- would volunteer to do the water boarding...
The new ranking minority member- Waldon from Oregon could be a great addition to that committee... He doesn't appear he will take any bull....Offered Parnall some of his own products to eat... He again took the 5th...
There will be some tough regulation and oversight coming out over both FDA/USDA and these food producers this year....
