• USDA Restricts PACA Violators in New York, North Carolina and Texas from Operating in the Produce Industry (usda.gov) — A Humble-based company, Triple C Produce & Logistic LLC, has been barred from operating in the USDA-regulated produce industry after failing to pay more than $41,000 owed to a Texas seller. The federal sanctions suspend its PACA privileges and restrict its listed members from working with licensed produce firms without USDA approval, underscoring tighter enforcement on fair payment practices.
