The company has closed. The company has filed bankruptcy. What's the point?
The shuttered Texas plant owned by a peanut company blamed in a national salmonella outbreak that sickened nearly 700 people was fined a record $14.6 million on Thursday.
The state fined Plainview Peanut Corp. LLC over violations that include unsanitary conditions, product contamination, illnesses linked to peanuts from the plant and operating for almost four years without a food manufacturer’s license, the Texas Department of State Health Services said.
Sure, they did wrong. We all know that. Why waste the manpower and the tax dollars to assess a fine that WILL NEVER BE PAID? That's like taking weight loss pills when you weigh 95 pounds. It just doesn't happen.
