On FDA’s orders, U.S. marshals have conducted a mass seizure of FDA-regulated products that the agency says were being held under insanitary conditions that exposed them to widespread rodent, insect and live animal infestation. The 11/7-8 seizure at J and L Grocery (Alma, AK) included human and animal food products, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, cosmetic products and medical devices. A significant number of the OTC drug products were also beyond their stated expiration dates, according to an[ FDA release](https://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm625643.htm?ref=fdaweb.com). The company receives, salvages, warehouses and distributes various products obtained through brokers within the salvage market.
