Makes sense. I like liverwurst but don't buy it because the packages would spoil before two people could eat it all. I am being perfectly serious when I say that in my childhood we ate liverwurst on white bread with sliced sweet pickles.

But we were the sophisticates on our block, because when possible we put it on rye bread. With caraway seeds, no less.

To return to serious thoughts, I cannot understand a firm allowing the conditions reported to persist in a facility. Setting aside the important ethical factor, the economic blow from this far outstrips the cost of maintaining a clean operation.

Maybe it's another case of the maxim "Top management never knows what's really going on."
