Wouldn't you think that something like a salmonella outbreak would be made public knowledge? After all, salmonella is dangerous and even deadly. So, if a chain of restaurants were targeted for investigation due to an outbreak of salmonella you'd probably like to know, right?

So as you pulled through the drive through the FDA knew that this chain had salmonella in their food supply, even if they didn't yet know the extent.
