WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has lifted PACA reparation sanctions on All Points Produce Inc., a Sparks, Georgia-based company.
All Points Produce Inc. can continue operating in the produce industry upon applying for and being issued a PACA license. Patti A. McMillan and Quentin C. McMillan were listed as the Officers, Directors, and/or major stockholders of the business and may now be employed by or affiliated with any PACA licensee.
As we previously reported, the company was previously restricted from operating in the produce industry for failing to pay a $75,288 award in favor of a Florida seller.
Once a reparation order is fully satisfied, and it is confirmed that there are not any outstanding unpaid awards, USDA lifts the employment restrictions of the previously named, responsibly connected individuals. The USDA will only reinstate the license of a business to an active status if all reparation awards are satisfied and if the license is not terminated.
In the past three years, USDA resolved approximately 3,700 PACA claims involving more than $66 million. The USDA’s experts also assisted more than 7,100 callers with issues valued at approximately $100 million. These are just two examples of how the USDA continues to support the fruit and vegetable industry.
