Officials say a cocoa processing facility in New Jersey where a worker fell into a vat of melting chocolate and died was operating illegally.
Camden cited Lyons & Sons Inc. for not having a business license after Vincent Smith II died Wednesday. Authorities say the 29-year-old was hit by a paddle used to mix chocolate.
Company spokesman Kevin Feeley says it's a "misunderstanding" and Camden officials knew the firm was operating in the former Campbell Soup plant.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the death.
The Philadelphia Inquirer also reports the federal Food and Drug Administration is monitoring the plant to make sure chocolate that came into contact with the victim does not get shipped.

I’m in the middle of a push to lose a lot of weight, and for some reason falling into a vat of melting chocolate really sounded good to me.....

Operating illegally?? A business license is nothing more than another tax. It has nothing to do with anything other than the state collecting more money. The article makes it look as though the company were somehow criminally negligent.
