Two federal agencies have sent warnings to a New York Kosher food maker, Sally Sherman Foods, so that they can correct dangerous hazards in their facility in Mount Vernon.

The U.S. Federal Drug Administration sent a warning letter and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has fined the company $247,000 for the dangerous working conditions in the plant. Since November 2009, OSHA officials have been trying to get the plant to get appropriate fall protection standards for the workers..

Also, the company needed to work on guarding their machines and controlling hazardous energy. The FDA said that their food products are held in unsanitary conditions. Both federal agencies are giving the company 15 days to respond to the violations.
