The FDA says its investigators have repeatedly found unsanitary conditions and bacterial contamination, and that the company has agreed to stop making and distributing its products as part of a consent decree filed in a Northern Illinois district court. The company is also required to hire a sanitation expert to establish an effective sanitation program.

There have not been any reports of illness as a result, the FDA said.
