If you think corporations are being hamstrung by government regulations, you’ll see these guys as heroes who bucked the system:
Two executives of a family meat company in Kansas City, Kan., were indicted Wednesday on charges of selling misbranded and adulterated poultry products across the country.
Craig Cunningham of Leawood was listed as general manager of the Hitchin Post Steak Co., 1101 S. Fifth St., and his son, Jason Cunningham of Olathe, as vice president.
[...]According to an indictment returned Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., the Hitchin Post received slaughtered animals and processed them into parts for shipment to customers across the country. Beginning in 2008 the company operated primarily as a poultry processor.The indictment says the two conspired to sell adulterated poultry products, meaning they were “unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome or otherwise unfit for human food” or were prepared under unsanitary conditions. Products were misbranded because they allegedly were processed outside the approved hours of USDA inspection. The two are also charged with unlawful use of a USDA inspection mark.
Yummy. Nothing like chicken with feces and rat hair mixed in. Get the government out of our food!
