Federal Government Seeks Injunction Against Minneapolis Distributor Over Unsanitary Conditions Affecting Food, Medicine, and Infant Formula

The U.S. Justice Department, on behalf of the FDA, has filed a civil complaint seeking a permanent injunction against Gold Star Distribution Inc. and its owner in Minneapolis. The action aims to prevent the distributor from handling federally regulated products, including food, medicine, and infant formula, until it complies with federal law. This follows years of recurring pest infestations and unsanitary conditions at the company's warehouse, which were not resolved despite earlier enforcement efforts and a previous recall of approximately 2,000 products in January.
