    This man needs to be put in jail for FIRST DEGREE MURDER because he knew what he was doing was 100% wrong and he did anyway and that is a fact.

    Articles like this make me glad that I’ve spent the last 22 years working for a first-class outfit that is obsessive about cleanliness. McKee Foods Corp, aka Little Debbie, pays auditors to show up unannounced to check out just how clean the food processing is. Another trivial tidbit: My head is clean-shaven, yet I have to put on a hairnet before entering the production area!

    Eat Little Debbies with confidence.
