Four minors were found working in a poultry plant in Alabama owned by the same company where a Guatemalan teen died last summer, NBC News reported on Saturday.
Mar-Jac Poultry denied knowingly hiring minors for the plant, located in Jasper, saying they had verified IDs showing they were older than 17. It added that some of the tasks assigned to them are not banned by federal regulations. They involved lifting and hanging chilled and eviscerated chicken carcasses and cutting wings from carcasses on a conveyor belt.
