CASE 1
Business Ethics
Jason Trevor owns a commercial bakery in Georgia that produces a variety of goods sold in grocery stores. Trevor is required by law to perform internal tests on food produced at his plant to check for contamination. On three occasions, the tests of food products containing peanut butter were positive for salmonella contamination. Trevor was not required to report the results to US Food and Drug Administration officials, however, so he did not. Instead, Trevor instructed his employees to simply repeat the tests until the results were negative. Meanwhile, the products that had originally tested positive to salmonella were shipped out to retailers. Five people who ate Trevor’s baked goods that year became seriously ill, and one person died from a salmonella infection.
Answer the Following questions:
1- If Trevor had followed the six guidelines for making ethical business decisions, would he still have sold the contaminated goods? Why or why not? (7.5 marks).
2- Through the above case, explain the importance of taking ethical decisions in business and what is the return on the institution and the employee when making these decisions based on ethics. (7.5 marks).
