Darlington Whey Plant Fined For Violations

A Darlington whey plant faces more than $23,000 in fines after a federal agency found a lack of inspection and training procedures led to employee injuries. U.S. Department of Labor officials issued four citations against Wisconsin Whey Protein, resulting in penalties totaling $23,440. The company produces whey protein concentrates and cheeses. The company entered into an informal settlement with the Department of Labor to remedy the situation and pay the necessary fines, according to department officials.
