"  In 2011, 33 people were killed after a listeria outbreak that stemmed from a Colorado cantaloupe farm. According to the Associated Press, federal prosecutors have now made two arrests, a rare move for cases involving food poisoning. However, the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ultimately found that Eric and Ryan Jensen, the sibling owners of the farm, did not clean their cantaloupes properly. The farm&amp;#039;s packinghouse contained dirty water on the floor as well as packing equipment that was most likely neglected because it was difficult to clean. The brothers were arrested on the charges of introducing adulterated food into the interstate food system. The charge is a ultimately a misdemeanor, however several suits have been brought against the Jensens and they could each face up to six years in prison and $3 million in total fines between the two of them if found guilty on all counts. A felony charge was not an option because the tainted cantaloupe incident, while tragic, was not intentional.
