Allen Family Foods to contest safety violations fine

Allen Family Foods said it will contest the $1 million fine it recently received for safety violations at a Maryland plant, according to the Associated Press.
This is the largest fine ever issued by the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health unit for one inspection or investigation.
The poultry processing company said the allegations do not reflect its safety record.

Allen fined $1million for safety violations

The Baltimore Sun reported Allen Family Foods Inc. has been fined $1 million for 51 safety violations found in an inspection by the Occupational Safety and Health unit of the state Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation in Maryland.
The state inspection followed an incident at the poultry company’s Hurlock, Md., facility last December in which an employee was seriously hurt.
