The Houston Press had a story last week about a local company that used acetone and Dremel tools and spray paint to alter expiration dates on out-of-date food they shipped to American Servicemen on duty in the Middle East.It’s a long, complicated story – details Here – but the bottom line is that an unscrupulous man put his own profits ahead of the health and safety of hundreds of people.
Almost as disgusting as his actions, the Justice Department tried to weasel out of paying the whistle blower who first alerted authorities.
I am amazed that, although this story has been going on for years – authorities raided the company, American Grocers, in 2006 – this is the first story I’ve seen about it in any local media.
