A manager at Iowa Egg Farms linked to a huge salmonella outbreak two years ago has pleaded guilty to trying to bribe a federal agriculture inspector to allow the sale of unapproved eggs.
Former Decoster Farms Manager Tony Wasmund managed companies owned by Jack Decoster whose egg operations were blamed for an outbreak that caused hundreds of people to get sick and 550 million eggs to be recalled.
Decoster Egg Farms used to be the largest egg producer in Maine.
Wasmund said he approved a $300 bribe to an inspector in an attempt to get approval for the sale of eggs that failed to meet USDA standards.
