I wondered about the insurance issues for the plant. Since there was a salmonella in peanut butter event a few years ago, I wondered what requirements the Georgia plant's insurance carrier would have for testing, if any. Could the outside lab tests have been done to satisfy their insurer rather than some other purpose? I think the insurance issue is interesting in light of the lack of meaningful government oversight. Would appreciate any thoughts on this.
