The Food and Drug Administration announced that the Las Vegas based company Basic Food Flavors, Inc. continued making and selling its products despite knowledge of a salmonella contamination within the processing facility.
The company creates an additive that produces a meat flavoring and is found in a variety of chips and soups. Due to their failure to immediately stop processing and distributing the product, over 100 recalls have taken place.
McCormick & Co. (NYSE: MKC) had its vegetable dip recalled as a result of these careless actions by Basic Food.
Although no illnesses have been reported, the company carelessly continued operation without addressing the issues brought up by the FDA.
