Sealed Food Supply: This May Really Bug You
Have you ever had that queasy feeling that you are being watched? Did it ever occur to you that it might be your snack that has its eyes on you? Having dealt with spoiled food cases in Memphis and West Tennessee for many years, this trial layer has never seen anything like this before. In Tennessee law there is a rule called the Closed Container Doctrine.
This protects a distributor of consumables from liability if the product came into their hands sealed and left the same way. For example, A Memphis consumer opens a soft drink that is still capped and finds a mouse inside. Unless the injured person can prove that what was in the sealed container was somehow the fault of the store owner, the plaintiff would not succeed against the store even though a claim might well exist concerning the manufacturer.. What follows is a video of what may be the most disgusting thing that I have ever seen respecting an adulterated food product.
We have all read and heard about the peanut butter recalls. This story makes on wonder if a bug infested product should be recalled or exterminated. Either way, if you find a product that is full of bugs, worms or other vermin, save the product in a sealed container and the receipt for purchase. The call the Shelby County Health Department. In closing, I think I need to go take something for nausea.
