federal court in The injunction against
Captain's Select Seafood Inc. was issued Feb. 17 and announced Monday by the
Food and Drug Administration. In an initial complaint in June
2008, the FDA accused Captain's Select of not having adequate plans for
identifying food safety hazards and preventing them. The FDA said the
paperwork violations ran from 2004 through at least early 2008, and the
company was repeatedly warned after inspections. Captain's Select can't resume
its business without getting the FDA or a federal court to sign off on its
paperwork. Captain's Select attorney Tom
Kane called the permanent injunction "meaningless," saying the
company has effectively been out of business since soon after FDA filed its
initial complaint. He said the company believed it had filled out its
paperwork properly. The company packaged, held and
distributed a variety of fresh, frozen and ready-to-eat fish products from
suppliers in No illnesses were ever reported
from Captain's Select products, the FDA said Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS |
