WASHINGTON – They say nothing is more wholesome than peanut butter, but the government may soon ask companies that make the gooey treat to prove it.The salmonella outbreak is starting to change the way the government oversees the safety of peanut butter and other foods, health officials tell Congress.
Dr. Stephen Sundlof of the Food and Drug Administration told lawmakers Wednesday that agency inspectors will start to routinely collect samples for bacterial testing whenever they go into a facility. Currently that’s done only if officials suspect a problem.
