OMAHA, Neb. - ConAgra Foods said Thursday that moisture from a
leaky roof
and faulty sprinkler was the source of the salmonella bacteria that
contaminated peanut butter at its Georgia plant last year,
sickening more
than 400 people nationwide.
Childs said the company traced the salmonella outbreak to three
problems at
its Sylvester, Ga., plant last August.
The plant's roof leaked during a rainstorm, and the sprinkler
system went
off twice because of a faulty sprinkler, which was repaired.
The moisture from those three events mixed with dormant salmonella
bacteria
in the plant that Childs said likely came from raw peanuts and
peanut dust.
She said the plant was cleaned thoroughly after the roof leak and
sprinkler
problem, but the salmonella remained and somehow came in contact
with peanut
butter before it was packaged.
