The EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) have announced a final settlement with Millard Refrigerated Services that resolves alleged violations of the Clean Air Act, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act for an airborne release of ammonia from Millard’s Theodore, Alabama, facility in 2010.

OSHA has cited New England Confectionery Company Inc., also known as Necco, for 19 alleged serious violations of workplace health and safety standards at its Revere production plant. The manufacturer of Necco Wafers, Clark Bars and other candies faces proposed penalties of $133,000 in connection with the release of 8,000 pounds of ammonia from the plant's refrigeration system on Oct. 5, 2012.

When OSHA inspectors responded to complaints inspected a frozen food manufacturing facility in Brunshwick, GA, they found that their trip was not wasted.

C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., a large food distribution business headquartered in Keene, N.H., has agreed to pay a penalty of $126,700 to settle claims by that it violated the Clean Air Act.
