After a brief cross-examination on Wednesday, the attorney for ABC News spent much of Thursday, June 8, questioning BPI witness Dr. Mindy Brashears about the food safety. Included in the cross-examination were questions about notifications the USDA sent BPI in 2010 regarding detection of E. coli and Salmonella in their plants.
The Sioux City Journal reports that ABC attorney Dane Butswinkas brought up E. coli and Salmonella detected at the BPI plant in 2009-2010. Brashears pointed out the amount of bacteria was small, consistent with findings at other plants, and the company quickly dealt with the issue properly.
