LIVINGSTON, Calif. (AP) — Work at a California chicken plant
is to resume Saturday, ending a temporary shutdown ordered by federal
inspectors who found cockroaches.
Foster Farms says it met demands
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture by performing a thorough cleanup
and treatment of its plant in Livingston, Calif., about 25 miles
southeast of Modesto. The company says employees will be called back to
work Saturday.
The plant closed Jan. 8 when inspectors found the
cockroaches on five separate occasions in various parts of the plant
over four months. The closure came three months after inspectors
threatened a shutdown because of salmonella problems at the Livingston
plant and two Foster Farms sites in Fresno.
