In a newly released letter to the facility, the FDA details the results of the inspection, which took place in October, including a rodent nest inside a box that was thawing ribs, rodent carcasses littering the first floor of the facility, birds flying through and defecating on the food supplies, bite marks on the food cartons, and feces observed in and around the storage area. The FDA also observed workers smoking while handling the food products in the facility, as well as workers indiscriminately using rodent poison to kill of the pest infestations, without taking proper care to make sure that the pesticide did not make its way into the food itself.
"FDA has serious concerns that our investigators found your firm operating under these conditions," the FDA letter said. "Further, your response states that your firm is committed to maintaining and operating a facility which provides the highest quality service to its customers and to the consuming public. We do not consider this response acceptable because you failed to provide documentation for our review, which demonstrates your noted corrective actions.

(18,837 posts)...when I lived in Massachusetts, myy dad was the official police photographer. A Chinese restaurant was busted by the board of health and they sent him out to take photos. There were boxes of noodles sitting on a bare cement floor directly under a leaky pipe leading from the bathrooms, and they were serving raccoon meat.
My dad never touched Chinese food again after that day, even if I cooked it.

They're nothing but a bunch of useless communists gobbling up tax payer money.
Time to cut their budget.

Republicans in Congress.
