More interesting to me is this sentence:

"She testified that Peanut Corp. officials said they believed the
salmonella came from organic Chinese peanuts."

That seems like a plausible theory to me. China has recently
emerged as the largest producer of peanuts. "Organic" in Chinese
means "we can't afford chemicals and we use manure for fertilizer".
(If you're lucky, it'll be animal manure.)
