Peanut Corporation of America, the company at the centre of the US salmonella scare, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and will begin liquidating its assets as legal claims pile up against it.

Records released during congressional hearings last week showed the company continued to ship its products even after they tested positive for salmonella bacteria.
