A Tennessee-based sanitation company has agreed to pay more than half a million dollars after a federal investigation found it illegally hired at least two dozen children to clean dangerous meat processing facilities in Iowa and Virginia.

DES MOINES, Iowa —

U.S. law prohibits companies from employing people younger than 18 to work in meat processing plants because of the hazards. One 14-year-old was severely injured while cleaning the drumstick packing line belt at the plant in Virginia, the investigation alleged. The agreement stipulates that Fayette will hire a third-party consultant to monitor the company's compliance with child labor laws for at least three years, as well as to facilitate trainings. The company must also establish a hotline for individuals to report concerns about child labor abuses.
