Arcadia Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I bolded the affected states https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-alerts-public-potentially-contaminated-products-family-dollar-stores-six-states“Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting the public that several categories of FDA-regulated products purchased from Jan. 1, 2021, through the present from Family Dollar stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee may be unsafe for consumers to use. The impacted products originated from the company’s distribution facility in West Memphis, Arkansas, where an FDA inspection found insanitary conditions, including a rodent infestation, that could cause many of the products to become contaminated. The FDA is working with the company to initiate a voluntary recall of the affected products.“ 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Wow, that’s really disgusting and seemingly a HUGE amount of rodents. Surely management knew of this problem (records of 2500 rodents from May to September!) and kept the goods flowing out there. Gross on all accounts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
