PENNSYLVANIA: FBI investigates fish fillets case - (New York Times)
March 11, 2008 – 6:42 pmhttp://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Frozen-Fish-Recall.html
Harrisburg, PA — The FBI is trying to find out how herbal supplements got into a family’s frozen fish dinner, a discovery that prompted a voluntary recall in 11 states.
A spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Philadelphia, Jerri Williams, was cited as saying Monday that agents were attempting to determine if a crime occurred, adding, ‘That’s part of the investigation — to look at how the pills got into the food product. At this time, it’s an open investigation.’
Gorton’s Inc., the company that distributed the fish, said the pills were harmless over-the-counter herbal supplements. U.S. Food and Drug Administration spokesman Brad A. Swezey declined comment on the investigation into what he called ’suspected tampering.’
