Berry Recall Botched

Berry Recall Botched
It is important to get recall information out quickly. The faster the news gets out  the less gets eaten. It should take 24 hours or less. Here is a timeline for the berries that were recalled from Townsend Farms.
May 31 Colorado state public health warned that Townsend Farms berrys contained Hepatitis A followed by federal officials.
Costco removed berries from shelves.
June 3 Townsend recalls its berry mix with errors in its press releases
June 4 Townsend corrected its recall so the public knows which berries not to eat.
Became public that Harris Teeter stores carried the berrys.
June 7  Reporter finds that no one verified that the berries were actually organic even though they were stamped USDA Organic. When a product comes from a foreign country we take there word for it that they are organic. These berries came from Chile,Mexico and Turkey
