WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials found salmonella contamination at a peanut plant in the state of Georgia linked to an outbreak of food poisoning that has sickened more than 500 people.

"We expect the lots of recalled products to continue to expand," Dr. Robert Tauxe of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters in a conference call.
