FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) The Central Valley Meat Company in Hanford was cited and could face up to $50,000 in fines for not protecting their workers from COVID-19, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CalOSHA) said on Wednesday.

The department said it s been investigating the meat company since April 29 after receiving complaints. It issued formal citations on December 11.
