[TexasTowelie]

Farm Fresh will pay $1 million to settle allegations levied by the federal government its pharmacies failed to keep proper records while dispensing controlled substances, according to a news release.

“The abuse of prescription drugs is one of the most alarming and critical issues we face today,” G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, said in a statement about the settlement with FF Acquisition.

He stressed the importance of the government's record-keeping requirements, explaining they help combat "every manner of the opioid crises affecting Virginia."

Representatives for Supervalu, which owned Farm Fresh until May 2018, and United Natural Foods Inc. which bought all of Supervalu in October 2018, said the company didn't have any additional comment.
