Today the Food and Drug Administration seized over $1 million worth of food from the Nashville, Tennessee based food processor, Won Feng Trading Company. The reason for the seizure was because of unsanitary practices which could have lead to food contamination. It was not made clear to whether or not any of the contaminated food made its way into restaurants that this distributor sells to.

“The FDA will take actions against any food companies that fail to provide adequate safeguards to ensure that products they produce or hold for sale remain free of contamination.”

-FDA Spokesperson

A variety of rice, fresh produce and frozen good were among the foods seized.  Being a clean and sanitary company should be on the top of the list for the managers of this food plant. This kind of violation can tarnish your company’s’ reputation forever.

The well know airline caterer LSG Sky Chefs was recently investigated and the Food and Drug Administration sent a letter to the company citing many unsanitary and disgusting things going on in Sky Chefs’ Denver kitchen. The last time Sky Chefs had problems with the FDA was back in 1996. Sky Chefs’ main clients are Delta, American and United Airlines.

“According to an FDA letter to the company, inspectors who examined the Denver facility found live and dead roaches “too numerous to count” in several areas of the kitchen, including at least 40 live insects in the silverware station.

The FDA said inspectors saw employees touching food with bare hands or while wearing unwashed gloves. They also noted problems with the building, including water dripping from the ceiling into utensil-cleaning areas and holes in walls that could house insects or vermin.”

Sky Chefs’ said they fired their general manager and head chef, they claim that they are fully complying with the FDA and plan to open the kitchen back up soon. ABC first reported about this .
