Last night, there was a fire at a food processing plant in America. It was the 18th such “accident” to hit our food processing plants and distribution centers in 2022.
Eighteen such incidents in only four months is an unprecedented rate. Usually, there are a dozen, or less, in any calendar year.
On April 22nd, there was an “explosion” at Shearer's Foods in Hermiston, Oregon. On April 21st, an "unidentified small plane" crashed into the General Mills plant in Covington, Georgia.
On April 19th, a mysterious fire destroyed the largest independent food distributor in the United States.
On April 14th, a food processing plant in Salinas, California called Taylor Farms caught fire.
On April 13th, a pilot crashed his plane into a potato plant in Idaho. On April 12th, the East Conway Beef & Pork plant in New Hampshire caught fire.
All of that happened in the last two weeks. At the start of February, a fire broke out a fertilizer plant in Winston-Salem.
In January, a mysterious fire broke out at Van Drunen Farms plant in Illinois.
