The company at the center of an investigation into the deadly salmonella outbreak has closed a second peanut processing plant. The Peanut Corporation of America has temporarily shut its doors in Plainview, Texas after lab tests found there may be salmonella at that plant, as well.

At this point, 1,845 peanut products have been taken off store shelves after more than 600 people got sick and eight deaths were linked to tainted peanuts.

Victims’ families will testify before Congress on Wednesday.
