FDA and DOJ take action against Virginia soybean business for selling contaminated sprouts
Today, 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., located in Woodford, Virginia, and its owner Soo C. Park, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration documented multiple violations of federal food safety laws and regulations. The consent decree prohibits Henry’s Farm, Inc. from receiving, processing, manufacturing, preparing, packing, holding and distributing ready-to-eat soybean and mung-bean sprouts. The U.S. Department of Justice sought the consent decree on behalf of the FDA.
