FDA Seizes $1m-Worth of Goods Allegedly at Risk of Contamination Fear

US Marshals have seized bulk restaurant food products at Won Feng Trading company, a food processor and warehouse in Nashville, Tennessee, for allegedly being held in unsanitary conditions.

The agency has not received any reports of consumer illnesses as a result of the food, but said precautions were taken after discovering birds and insects in the building.

Won Feng receives food from throughout the US and distributes its products within the state of Tennessee.

The FDA estimates the value of the seized goods to be about $1m.

Michael Chappell, the FDA’s acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs, said: “The violations at Won Feng Trading are both serious and repetitive. The FDA will take actions against any food companies that fail to provide adequate safeguards to ensure that products they produce or hold for sale remain free of contamination.”
