The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) revealed that federal investigators found 11 children working in unsafe, overnight jobs at the Seaboard Triumph Foods pork processing plant in Sioux Falls, Iowa.
Michael Lazzeri, the midwest regional administrator with the DOL's Wage and Hour division, said Friday in a statement, "These findings illustrate Seaboard Triumph Foods' history of children working illegally in their Sioux City facility since at least September 2019. Despite changing sanitation contractors, children continued to work in dangerous occupations at this facility."
