The Iowa Labor Commissioner's Office announced Tuesday that it has uncovered dozens of child labor violations at the Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plant in Postville.
Labor officials said their investigation, which spanned several months, had uncovered 57 cases of child labor law violations.
The types of violations included minors working in prohibited occupations, exceeding allowable hours to work youth and working with prohibited tools
Iowa Labor Commissioner Dave Neil said the investigation brings to light egregious violations of virtually every aspect of the state's child labor laws.
The Attorney General's Office said it could not comment on what penalties are possible. State officials declined to release details on how many children may be involved or their ages.
About 400 workers were arrested during an immigration raid at the plant in May.
