U.S. Department of Agriculture has cited Have A Potato Inc., doing business as Produce Unlimited, operating in Bronx, N.Y. for wilful, flagrant, and repeated violations of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act. The firm purchased, received and accepted the commodities from 17 sellers in the course of interstate and foreign commerce from November 1998 through April 1999. USDA served the company with a complaint and the company failed to file an answer.
PACA establishes a code of good business conduct for the produce industry.
USDA is authorized to suspend or revoke a trader's license for violating the Act.
