The FDA inspection report cited problems ranging from 'four rat carcasses on the conveyor belt' to rodent droppings 'too numerous to count.'
The FDA report noted the company had been aware of the presence of rodents in the West Memphis, Arkansas, facility since at least January 2020. In October 2021, a fire drill sent"dozens of rats" scurrying around the facility due to the loud sound, the agency said.
"We find the situation concerning as we think it points to a wider sloppiness in the Family Dollar operation and a willingness to cut corners," Saunders wrote."While no one expects a dollar store to be palatial, consumers rightfully want basic hygiene and safety standards to be adhered to."Both live rodents and"dead rodents of various states of decay" through the facility, including where food was stored.
Rodent droppings were also found on personal care items like Crest toothpaste and Listerine mouthwash.
