A Virginia grower of fresh, ready-to-eat soybean and mung-bean sprouts that has been involved in multiple recalls stretching back to 2012 has been ordered to stop production until the company can clean up its act.
On Thursday, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia entered a consent decree of permanent injunction between the United States and Henry’s Farm, Inc. and its owner after FDA identified multiple violations of federal food safety laws and regulations. The consent decree prohibits Henry’s Farm from receiving, processing, manufacturing, preparing, packing, holding and distributing ready-to-eat soybean and mung-bean sprouts.
