Blog #14

An article on CNN posted an article called Peanut butter recalled amid salmonella outbreak. Forty-nine states have already been affected and three hundred thirty-nine people already been affected. King Nut Company found out those five pounds of peanut butter has found with salmonella. The company apologized for all the people that been affected with this situation. The company fears that the people that consume their product don’t trust it anymore and their market will decrease. Sadly one death has been reported already in Minnesota by the public health officials. Ages from two months through ninety-eight years of age have been affected with the illness and in California there were more cases fifty were reported, Ohio with fifty-three issues, Massachusetts with thirty-nine, Minnesota with thirty and Michigan with twenty. The other thirty-seven states were reported with twenty or fewer cases. Most recovered without treatment but suffer with hydration and severe cases. According to the National Institute of health the people with weaker immune systems tend to be in higher risk.
