After the investigators of the salmonella outbreak tracked Georgia processing plant as being the guilty part for the all the sickened and dead people, many ex-employees now talk about the filthy conditions they had to work with and the fact that they had been expecting at such results.

David James worked at the peanut processing plant in Georgia in shipping and told the Los Angeles Times that he remembered opening a container full of peanuts where he had also found baby mice. James added that the whole place was dirty and nasty.

Supposedly, the roof leaked rain, according to Terry Jones, who worked as a janitor there. James Griffin, one of the cooks, said that he had never eaten the peanut butter which was made there and he had never given it to his children.

The ex-employees have tried to describe their work at Peanut Corp. Of America after the plant was closed. According to their statements, the processing plant was the guilty one for the 600 sickened people and the eight deaths. Apparently, the filthy conditions were obvious and had been lasting for a long time.

Jones worked at the plant in the sanitation department and he stated that the place was a mess, recalling the leaking rain which was coming through the roof and the vents. Yet, he added, these conditions had never stopped the employees from making the peanut butter which had sickened so many people. The 50-year-old added that he used to earn $6.55 an hour for setting traps that sometimes caught four rats a day.

The Food and Drug Administration made a report on the conditions at Georgia peanut processing plant and discovered roaches, mold on the walls, dirty utensils, filthy equipment used in making the paste, holes in the roof and all the necessary conditions for causing such a dangerous salmonella outbreak.
