During November $2022,$ ABC paid $$30,000$ to purchase frozen chicken meat from Fresh Meat Butcher $($FMB$),$ a small meat supplier in financial difficulty. ABC has not begun to use the FMB$$s frozen chicken meat in producing lunch packages so far. In December $2022,$ there was an allegation that FMB$$s chicken meat could be polluted in the production process. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is now investigating this allegation, and the outcome is uncertain.
