 米小売チェーンがネズミ大量発生で営業停止、「汚染リスク」で現場は大混乱に

Family Dollar, a popular one in the United States, has suspended more than 400 stores in six states in Japan, and has announced its voluntary recalls. The cause of the problem is that more than 1,000 rats have breeded at the company's delivery center in Arkansas.

According to the U.S. Food and Pharmaceutical Bureau (FDA), the products were affected from January 1 this year to the present products stored and shipped at the facility. The presence and activity of rats have the risk of Salmonella bacteria. Recalls are a wide variety of products, such as pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, cosmetics, nutritional foods, and foods, and the scores are likely to be enormous. The refrigerated and frozen items are shipped without being stored in the facility, so they have no effect. It is said that products to be recall can be returned without receipts. ■ Time is required for business resuming and recovery from trust, and at present, Family Dollar does not know that the use of products actually causes health damage or problems with the product. "We are working with authorities to solve problems and are now in the process of restoring the situation," said Cary Campbell. The outlook for resumption has not yet been set up for stores that have been suspended. Family Dala is a major chain with about 8,000 stores in 48 states in the United States, and has been under the umbrella since it was acquired by a Dollar tree in the same industry. This time, FDA survey found that hygiene problems besides rats, and found that unsanitary situations have not been improved for many years. It will take a long time to regain consumer trust.
