Maggots were found in the food preparation areas at least two jails in Michigan and these may have been the source of the outbreak of food-borne illness. Maggots were also found in Aramark food products at two Ohio prisons, the Ohio Reformatory for Women and Trumbull Correctional Institute. Aramark, however, was cleared by the Michigan Department of Corrections of any responsibility for inmate illness or pest infestation in the state of Michigan. Both the states of Ohio and Michigan fined the company $270,000 and $200,000 respectively.
