PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — One of Maine’s major lobster processors says it has addressed a battery of violations brought forth by the Food and Drug Administration, but the federal agency says it has not yet cleared the firm of violations.

The FDA in February sent a letter to Rockland-based Linda Bean’s citing the firm for “significant violations” in the way it processed seafood. The agency said the firm’s lobster meat and crab meat had been “prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health.” The firm also failed to monitor the cleanliness of surfaces that had contact with food and prevent cross-contamination from insanitary objects, the letter states.
