The nation’s largest supplier of kosher meat has violated child labor laws dozens of times. Jesse Russell reports:

Nearly 60 cases of child labor law violations have been allegedly uncovered at Agriprocessors kosher meat packing plant in Postville, Iowa. In a statement, Iowa’s Labor Commissioner Dave Neil said the investigation found “egregious violations of virtually every aspect of Iowa’s child labor laws.” In May of this year 389 illegal immigrants were arrested during a raid on the plant. That raid and months of investigations led to the 57 cases of child labor violations being uncovered. The violations include exceeding allowable work hours, exposure to hazardous chemicals, failure to obtain permits, and more. Neil has suggested that the violations be prosecuted to “the fullest extent of the law.” The company has not commented on the allegations. In Iowa it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to work in meatpacking plants.
