    I worked at a fruit processing plant. We found maggots in the blueberries. Line got shut down for obvious reasons.

    Owner of the company came in and said ‘pack them anyway’. We knowingly sent out blueberries with maggots in them.

    Needless to say that company sucks and people hate working there.

        I would love to say but its a small company in a fairly small community and I dont want to say for privacy reasons. Wouldnt make it too hard to figure out where I live.

        Lets just say if you buy any blueberries labelled IFC (international fruit company) there is a chance they are our berries.

        Just to be clear, I did NOT work for the IFC. We just packaged our berries for them and sent them out with their label. I cannot comment on the quality of IFC products in general.
