(KSL News) Companies that make peanut butter snacks recalled over 100 more products today that may be tainted with salmonella.
It was four months from the time the first report came in until the FDA shut down that Georgia peanut plant and posted recalls.
Congress wants to know why the delay? Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga, said, "Ya'll gotta figure out some way to speed up that process."
With more than 500 people sick and eight dead of salmonella, Congress wants to know what took so long.
Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., said, "You can only imagine how dangerous this is for an elderly person that enjoys peanut butter on toast in the morning. It's deadly."
Today, over 100 more products were recalled.
The company faces a criminal investigation because internal tests found salmonella before products were shipped.
