Kraft Foods takes bribes: Allows people to sell tainted food
Over the last 14 months, Robert Watson, a top ingredient buyer for Kraft Foods, and three other purchasing managers, at Frito-Lay, Safeway and B&G Foods, have pleaded guilty to taking bribes that have allowed millions of pounds of tomato products with high levels of mold or other defects to be used in their companies’ products. Five people connected to one of the nation’s largest tomato processors, SK Foods, have also admitted to taking part in the scheme, the NY Times reports.
The sad part is that the corporatist lobby would have you believe that regulation is a bad thing. They rail against a consumer protection agency when the truth is that these people are the enemy of America.
