Three stop-sale orders issued May 6, 2025 required the immediate destruction of adulterated products due to improper cooling and cold-holding temperatures.

Three subsequent focused inspections on November 12, 2025, January 20, 2026 returned zero violations, addressing issues documented in prior complaints.
