Children as young as 5-years-old were found working in the fields of the Adkin Blue Ribbon Packing Company — one of the biggest blueberry growers in the country — this summer, according to a report by Avni Patel, Angela M. Hill, Asa Eslocker and Brian Ross of ABCNews.com. Upon learning of the ABC News investigation, Walmart severed its ties with the blueberry grower “pending the outcome of an investigation by our ethical sourcing team.” Randy Adkin, the owner of the company, has also been cited by the Department of Labor for violations of federal child labor laws.
