LIVINGSTON, Calif. — Federal inspectors suspended processing at the Foster Farms chicken plant Jan. 8 because of a cockroach infestation that raised concerns about human health.
The company said only five cockroaches were found in the massive Livingston plant over the past four months, but it carried out "enhanced sanitizing" and expects it to reopen soon. It also said no products have been affected. The company's two plants in Fresno were not affected by the federal suspension.
The Food Safety & Inspection Service ordered the temporary closure, just three months after threatening closure because of salmonella. . .
