Spice maker ordered to pay $33 million


Wholesome Spice of Brooklyn, N.Y. has a court order to pay $33 million to Daniele International Inc. because the spice it supplied resulted in a recall of Italian sausage in early 2010.

The company did not respond in court to the lawsuit Daniele filed.

The court decision carries implications for farmers because they could presumably be held responsible for any flaws in the livestock they market to packers that results in a recall.
