This is a sad story. I’m not quite grasping why they have to layoff. Didn’t they just pull the bad batches from stores?

I am just learning about listeria, but from what I hear it is extremely difficult to get a production facility clean once it has been contaminated. They almost have to disassemble the whole factory and build a new one. There was some speculation recently that when Walmart mysteriously announced "plumbing problems" at a few stores and that they would be closed for six months, that this was really a listeria outbreak at those stores.

Interesting about the Walmart possibility. I just figured they were hitting back at the communist organized wage protests.
