The peanut crisis and salmonella outbreak
Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) holds a jar of peanut products and asks Stewart Parnell, owner and president of the Peanut Corporation of America, if he would be willing to unseal the jar and eat any of them. Parnell, subpoenaed to appear before the committee looking into the salmonella outbreak associated with peanut butter manufactured by his company, asserted his Fifth Amendment rights and refused to answer any of the committee's questions.
