Did Canada refuse a shipment of peanuts from Peanut Corporation of America, whose Georgia plant is the source of the current outbreak of illness?
Yes, Canada refused a shipment of chopped peanuts from PCA in April 2008. The chopped peanuts had metal fragments in them. Under FDA’s supervision, PCA destroyed the shipment to ensure that it would not be consumed. The state of Georgia, working under FDA contract, followed up by inspecting the Blakely facility to ensure that proper measures were in place to prevent this problem from occurring again.
