March 13, 2014 / /
The US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) suspended the food facility registration of Roos Foods of Kenton, Delaware. The facility registration is required by all food companies in order to distribute their products. The suspension follows the widening investigation by the FDA, Center for Disease Control (CDC) and state and local officials into a multi-state outbreak of listeriosis linked to Hispanic-style cheese products made and distributed by Roos Foods. The suspension is only the second time the Agency flexed its new power gained under the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act.
