An Alabama seafood company will have to destroy all of its ingredients and products after it settled a lawsuit with federal prosecutors that includes a permanent ban from processing and distributing food.

FDA inspectors found maggots, flies and roaches at the company’s facility in Irvington along with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes on food contact and non-food contact surfaces of equipment, prosecutors said Thursday in announcing a settlement with the company. Federal prosecutors filed a request for permanent injunction last month against the company, alleging that owner Kevin S. Sakprasit and company officers Helene Nou and Kammie C. Richardson, violated federal law by distributing tainted products.

The company and the defendants settled the lawsuit by agreeing to be bound by a court order permanently enjoining them from violating the law and requiring them to destroy all ingredients and products.
