Foster Farms Plant Reopening

Now with fewer cockroaches: Foster Farms chicken! Foster Farms will reopen its Livingston, California plant on Saturday, three days after USDA inspectors saw a cockroach inside the facility and immediately closed it for sanitation and treatment. “We want to assure our consumers, customers and valued employees that we worked diligently to address and resolve this issue,” Foster Farms said in a statement. “Our efforts included developing a comprehensive preventative plan with full documentation that received USDA-FSIS approval.” The plant had been cited five times since September for roaches, some of which came into contact with a plastic tub that then came into contact with chicken. Ew.
