The U.S. Department of Justice announced that Rizo-López Foods has been ordered to cease production following a lengthy listeria outbreak linked to their products.
Evidence linked products from Rizo-López Foods to a listeria outbreak that began in 2014, resulting in 26 illnesses across 11 states and two fatalities.
The ongoing investigation prompted the FDA and Justice Department to enforce stricter measures against food manufacturers jeopardizing consumer health due to negligence.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton stated that enforcement actions will continue against food manufacturers failing to meet safety obligations.
