The children used “corrosive cleaners to clean head splitters, jaw pullers, bandsaws, neck clippers and other equipment" the Labor Department said.

    Any information on the age of the children?

    nvestigators found 11 children working a “dangerous” overnight shift at a meat processing plant in Iowa. […] It is illegal under U.S. law for anyone younger than 18 to work in meat processing

    I mean that’s good. Ideally, no one should work in meat processing. Still, it feels different to me in terms of child labor if the employees are like 12 or rather 17.
