The walls and ceilings, as well as their sheet metal coverings, were damaged or corroded in several rooms. In several cases, the food produced in the plant was stored in boxes without a base, on the floor. The device disinfectants in the unit were also not working or did not have the temperature display necessary to monitor proper operation.
