Company, 2 Workers Indicted Over Recall
From Times Wire Reports
Hudson Foods Inc. and two employees were indicted on federal charges of providing false information to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in what became the nation’s largest meat recall. The indictments also accuse the Arkansas-based company; Brent Wolke of Columbus, Neb.; and Michael Gregory of Springdale, Ark., each on one count of conspiracy. An outbreak of E. coli in July 1997 in Colorado forced the recall of 25 million pounds of Hudson meat.
