CNB CRIME: Egg Company’s Fraudulent Practices Put Public at Risk

FBI (May 8, 2015)–The 81-year-old owner of an Iowa egg production company and his son, a top executive in the business, are going to prison for bribing a federal food inspector and distributing eggs that contained Salmonella bacteria, which caused hundreds of consumers to become sick.

A federal judge in Iowa last month ordered the Quality Egg company to pay a $6.79 million fine and sentenced company owner Austin \”Jack\” DeCoster, and his son, Peter DeCoster, who was Quality Egg’s chief operating officer, to serve time in prison.
