State Probing Claims Of Moldy Veggies In Baby Food

FRESNO (AP) ― State officials are investigating whether the operator of an organic baby-food plant ignored warnings that moldy vegetables were used in its product.

Health inspectors say they are looking into allegations made by two former managers at Initiative Foods in Sanger.

The managers say the company used moldy sweet potatoes containing maggots and ignored repair requests that led to pieces of glass entering baby food jars.

Company officials have denied the allegations made by the former managers, who claim they were fired for raising food-safety concerns.

Inspectors are reviewing plant records at Initiative Foods, whose products are sold at Whole Foods, Vons, Safeway and other stores.
