and I've worked with chickens when i was younger and not all chicken stay healthy they to get sick so like i said my point is how if they had that much contaminated frozen feeders did they not notice it in the live animals some part of the cleanliness process got over looked or side stepped to fill orders at some point maybe employ x went to the bathroom and was back-up at his section forgot to wash hands or something or maybe went to outside break area and put some contaminated chicken on the grill who knows who cares but there has to be some kind of standard set in place so this never happens again not just nuking the mice but quality control as far as if anything sold at least hourly I've been in couple different kraft factories and kal-can factories and seen them do hourly checks on food being sold at all stage of processing and car factories are the same qc once an hour on everything they process

i must say if they are working with the FDA to take steps to make sure this never happens again i take my hat off to them. but i can think of one good rule that would make something like this from ever happening again in other factories they do quality tests hourly once an hour all feeder sales people should do an in house test for salmonella contamination nothing can be shipped till test is all good. and must be kept on file or reported

I've seen pharmaceutical lab mice and how they are kept what use to be up-john in Kalamazoo Michigan had hairless mice they paid 1 million a piece for to use for drug testing totally clean even if got to go in room and breath the same air as them you had to be sterilized and have up-to date shots for everything and thats just to fix a blown plug-in receptacle

that is the only way they will get rid of or make sure stuff like this never happens again. even if they are just selling snake food but how do you feed a snake if you can never touch the bag they came in cause could have salmonella. (little drastic there but some of us got not only ourself to look after and pets but kids as-well) yes i think there should be very strict guide lines set in place to make sure nothing like this happens again no that don't mean shut them down but at least upgrade to comply with standards trade wide.
For the love of all things holy..Use periods at the end of your sentences. Run on sentences make me head hurt.

Additionally, not all animals will look ill before they drop over dead. I used to raise guinea fowl chicks during the summers. Big batches at a time. Some mornings I'd look in and one of the healthy, spunky chicks from the previous night would be dead. Yesterday, I found a breeder mouse dead. The previous night she had been fine.
