United States v. Parnell, No. 13-CR-12 (M.D. Ga., November 5, 2013). The company was the source of a nationwide Salmonella outbreak in 2009, and the 76-count indictment charges four individuals with conspiracy, mail and wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and other counts related to the distribution of adulterated and misbranded food.
