The FDA issued a company-wide warning letter to Sparboe Farms, the country's 5th largest egg producer, citing serious and significant violations at five different locations. The FDA cited at least 13 violations of the recently enacted federal egg rule meant to prevent dangerous salmonella outbreaks.
The ABC News broadcast will include undercover video taken over the summer inside Sparboe facilities in three states by the animal rights group, Mercy for Animals, that appears to show unsanitary conditions and repeated acts of animal cruelty.
The Mercy for Animals activist who went undercover to record the video inside Sparboe told ABC News chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross, "I saw workers do horrendous things to birds, they were thrown, grabbed by the neck, they're slammed in and out of cages."
