Federal agents on Monday raided a Blakely peanut processing plant that is at the center of a salmonella investigation.According to authorities, federal agents took with them boxes and other materials from the Peanut Corp. facility. Law enforcement also raided the company's headquarters in Lynchburg, Va.
Monday's raid comes less than a week after Food and Drug Administration investigators said the company knowingly shipped products from its Georgia plant after tests indicated the products were contaminated.
To date, more than 500 people have fallen ill to the salmonella outbreak, with eight deaths being investigated.
