Nestle Refused to Give FDA Records
June 29th, 2009 meg
It has been found that the Nestlé USA plant at the center of a federal probe into an E. coli outbreak involving cookie dough refused to give inspectors access to records.
Records included pest-control records, environmental-testing programs and other information.
Nestlé USA suspended cookie-dough production at the Danville, Virginia plant, and has recalled 300,000 cases of refrigerated cookie-dough products.
However, they have continued to make pasta and sauce at the plant.
Legislation is being considered that would require food companies to keep more records and give FDA inspectors access to all records during inspections.
