SOUTH FALLSBURG — Federal regulators ordered Murray's Chicken to cease processing at its South Fallsburg poultry plant Tuesday, throwing hundreds of workers into limbo as the company disputed government concerns about food safety.
Steve Gold, Murray's vice president of sales and marketing, said the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service allowed the company to ship chicken packaged Monday but ordered it otherwise closed until it corrects "facility issues."
"It has nothing to do with the food safety of the product," said Gold. "We're doing everything we can to make sure our employees get back to work."
