Nearly a million jars of peanut butter are to be dumped at a New Mexico landfill to speed up the sale of a bankrupt peanut-processing plant that was at the heart of a salmonella outbreak in 2012.
The retailer Costco refused to take shipment of the peanut butter and declined requests to let it be donated to food banks or repackaged or sold to brokers who provide food to institutions like prisons.
Costco officials did not return telephone calls seeking comment. But court filings indicate the product, made by Sunland Inc, which filed for bankruptcy last year, was made with $2.8m worth of Valencia peanuts owned by Costco and had been sitting in a warehouse since Sunland shut down.

I've grown out of peanut butter, I never eat it...but...that peanut butter could have been used in so many different ways!
Trust those mongrel uber-corporations! I never shop at Costco anyway.
They just dumped the whole load still in jars!
That will be an interesting find for future archeologists lol.
Good on ya!
