PORT ANGELES — Preliminary testing on an item seized in a food tampering investigation at a Safeway store east of downtown Port Angeles has not produced any results that indicate the public should be worried, according to the state Department of Health.
“If there was something of a public health emergency nature, then we would release that information,” Health media relations manager Donn Moyer said Tuesday.
“And the fact that we haven’t indicates that the preliminary-type testing hasn’t produced anything that is really reportable.”
The FBI and the Food and Drug Administration brought a specimen found at the to the Department of Health last week to test for bacterial and biological agents as the two federal agencies investigated a note found Thursday morning at the east Port Angeles Safeway, 2909 E. Highway 101.
A Clallam County sheriff’s department official confirmed the note demanded money and threatened to harm people.
