• The Los Angeles Times reports that Frederick Scott Salyer, the former owner of SK Foods, has been indicted on racketeering and other corruption-related charges. He is accused of what the Times describes as “a decade-long scheme to quash competition and sell tomato products at inflated prices -- a practice that led to consumers paying more at the grocery store.” According to the story, Salyer “was arrested at John F.

He is expected to appear in federal court in Sacramento next week for a bail hearing and plans to plead not guilty to the charges.”
