John R. Parks Acme Violations
Acme, which was a national food chain ran by John R. Parks employed 36,000 employees and operated 16 warehouses across the U.S. was found guilty of violations of the FDA. In the early 70's, the FDA sent letters to Mr. Park stating that his warehouse was infested with rodents in the Philadelphia plant. Later, the same type of conditions was found at the Baltimore facility as well. After receiving a letter from the FDA about the inspection, Mr. Parks met with the president of legal affairs to assure him that he would investigate the situation and would be taking corrective actions to fix the violations.

    Ogeechee Fish Kil

    On May 19th, 2011, over 38,000 fish were found dead along an 80 mile stretch of the Ogeechee River near Savannah Georgia in Screven County. This number also included around 15 different species as well. This fish kill was and is the largest of its sort in the history of the state of Georgia. Investigations later revealed that the fish died from columnaris, which can be a deadly bacterial disease when fish have been weakened by other stressors. King America Finishing plant, which is located along the Ogeechee River, became the target of further investigation due to the fact that the dead fish only appeared downstream from the plant, and none were found upstream from the plant. The plant also has a discharge pipe which dispenses into the river. After several visits to the plant pursuant to the fish kill, the Environmental Protection Division discovered that the company had been making numerous unauthorized discharges into the Ogeechee River, of flame-retardant chemicals for over the past five years. Even more surprising was the lack of knowledge that the EPD had of the discharge line, despite the fact that is own inspectors were said to have inspected the plant up to six time since 2006. King America Finishing had failed to inform the EPD that it had a new discharge line, which is required of them under their permit. “EPD rules require companies to notify the department when they want to add new discharge lines, then the state can decide whether to issue a permit. But that didn’t happen in this case, state officials said (Savannah, 2011).” Yet even still, many feel that this is inexcusable on the EPD’s behalf. After the investigations begin to dwindle down and a reasonable conclusion of who was to blame was drawn, the EPD proposed a million dollar payment…

    The Jungle: The Pure Food And Drug Act

    The Pure Food and Drug Act was signed by President Theodore Roosevelt on June 30, 1906, the same day as the Meat Inspection Act. The act was designed to prevent the adulteration and mislabeling of foods and pharmaceuticals. This was a direct result of the scandals of the unsanitary methods used by the food industry that was revealed in ‘The Jungle’ written by Upton Sinclair. The act hoped to protect the public from unsafe food, deceptive claims of of a drug/medicine made, and to respond to the public outcry against the unhygienic and unsanitary processing methods. As a result, the act prevented the misrepresentation of medicine and drugs, it gave credibility to the Square Deal domestic policy of President Roosevelt, it gave credence to the…

    Theodore Roosevelt's Intellectualism

    In 1906 pure food and drug act was passed after a book called “the jungle” by Upton Sinclair was published. The Jungle documented the terrible conditions of meat packaging industry, then Roosevelt invited the author to his white house. Roosevelt promised to use federal regulations to clean up the sickening conditions of meat packing plants, but Roosevelt wasn't the only one that was sickened by what the author Upton Sinclair wrote in his novel, there was a large range of public complaint, Roosevelt responded by selecting a government commission, he pushed for FDA to be passed by congress and the bill termed for stricter, sanitary meat packers, then government programs to bear inspections. Industries were required to label canned goods, now known as the nutrition label, and it required the date the food was processed, this was called the pure food and drug act. Huge variety of items sold in drugstores weren't labeled, so nobody knew what was inside of it, or what it's made of. A Lot of children's medicine contained cocaine, Heroin and alcohol. The FDA act required a list of ingredients on the medicine, but it did not ban harmful products Then in 1906 “law forbade interstate and foreign commerce in adulterated and disbanded food and drugs. Offending products could be seized and condemned; offending persons could be fined and jailed. Drugs had…

    Hershey Foods Case Study

    As the candy market changed and competition increased by 2002 Hershey was forced to come up with a strategic plan. Mars and Nestle had expanded their business in markets beyond candy; however Hershey’s profits are heavily reliant upon their chocolate sales. After taking this into account I can see why the board of directors of HTC was looking for a way to diversify its holdings and find a buyer to get rid of Hershey Foods. However, it appears that they were looking for the easy way out rather than the ethical and more socially responsible solution. This is evidenced by the fact that they did not consult the town in any of their meetings or discuss the issue of an impending sale with community members. I also feel like Hershey and its management did not have the same vision as the founder Milton Hershey. The board directors were not really from the community anymore. Milton Hershey successfully integrated the business with the community and the relationship was one of mutual beneficence. The current leadership was mainly concerned about money and not leadership. Not to say that money is not an important factor, but the special relationship between the survival of the town and Hershey Foods required strong consideration. The Attorney General had it right in declaring that HTC needed to make changes. Still, selling Hershey foods was not the answer.…

    The Federal Government under Barack Obama

    In 2009, the Obama administration appointed Michael Taylor—the previous vice president of Monsanto and a current Monsanto lobbyist—as senior advisor to the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] Commissioner. After serving a year as an advisor, Taylor was named the Deputy Commissioner for Foods for the FDA. It is inarguable that this appointment constitutes a massive boon for Monsanto and an undeniable conflict of interest for Taylor. Taylor is a lobbyist for Monsanto and is being paid by the agri-giant while he is supposed to be working for the FDA. This conflict of interest begs us to ask, is Taylor working for the public, or is he focused upon helping his private sector employer reduce its regulatory burden and improve its profitability? Taylor’s connection to Monsanto is not a secret, and we can conclude that the Obama administration knew who they were appointing when they did it…

    Misdirected Directive

    Misdirected Directive

    The Case of the Misdirected Directive* The Dashman Company was a large concern making many types of equipment for the armed forces of the United States. It had over 20 plants, located in the central part of the country, whose purchasing procedures had never been completely coordinated. In fact, the head office of the company had encouraged each of the plant managers to operate with their staffs as separate independent units in most matters. Late in 1940, when it began to appear that the company would face increasing difficulty in securing certain essential raw materials, Mr. Manson, the company’s president, appointed an experienced purchasing executive, Mr. Post, as vice president in charge of purchasing, a position especially created for him. Mr. Manson gave Mr. Post wide latitude in organizing his job, and he assigned Mr. Larson as Mr. Post’s assistant. Mr. Larson had served the company in a variety of capacities for many years, and knew most of the plant executives personally. Mr. Post’s appointment was announced through the formal channels usual in the company, including a notice in the newsletter published by the company. One of Mr. Post’s first decisions was to begin immediately to centralize the company’s purchasing procedure. As a first step he decided that he would require each of the executives who handled purchasing in the individual plants to clear with the head office all purchase contracts which they made in excess of $10,000. He felt that if the head office was to do any coordinating in a way that would be helpful to each plant and to the company as a whole, he must be notified that the contracts were being prepared at least a week before they were to be signed. He talked his proposal over with Mr. Manson, who presented it to his board of directors. They approved the plan. Although the company made purchases throughout the year, the beginning of its peak buying season was only three weeks away at the time this new plan was adopted. Mr. Post prepared…
