The interior of the building did not sustain damage, police said.

According to a Facebook post from International Flavors and Fragrances, the building was open on Monday:

“We are happy to report our Hazlet facility is open today, no one was injured, and would like to thank our amazing IFFers and all of the Monmouth first responders for their support.”
