Mississippi church group fights Illinois candy embargo
The Christ Temple Church in Meridian, Mississippi, faces a state order to halt sales of Bishop's Best Peanut Brittle after staples found in a pack in Carbondale. Illinois plans to ship the product back to Mississippi and keep the embargo, citing labeling issues and heat-related staple incidents. The group says the program REACH funds young people and single parents, with 25 to 30 sellers in Illinois, ages 13 to 45, and fears financial hardship if sales do not resume.
