Don't Eat the Yellow Snow (Brand)

Another late night, doing something that isn't very hard that I should have done hours ago. It's about the Japanese milk producer, Snow Brand, and just how freakin' terrible they were in handling a food safety crisis about a decade ago. Corporate communications, or lack thereof, was among the problems. Neat case study, actually, and there's some really good stuff on the web about it.

It turns out some valves in the plant had been contaminated and that made about 13,000 people sick. Frank Zappa has some advice on the matter:
