Federal agents raided a Nashville food distributor's warehouse, saying food products were contaminated by insects, rodents and other sanitation hazards. The raid followed a visit to the Won Feng Trading Co. warehouse in Nashville by U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspectors, who found live and dead rodents, rat feces, and live birds among rice, fresh produce and frozen food. More than $1 million worth of food products was confiscated.
The Tennessee Department of Agriculture in October said it found rodent activity and instructed Won Feng to destroy some products immediately. The inspection led to the federal seizure. (Source: UPI. Jan. 7, 2010).
