Investigation Summary
At 6:30 p.m. on October 6, 2017, an employee was working on the C4A hard candy line in the C-7 Kitchen. As she was waiting for a new batch to come through the line, she removed a guard to the infeed assembly to extract a piece of candy, measuring 2 to 3 inches, to prevent it from hardening or causing issues in the press. As she reached into the infeed section with her left hand, the cutting knife activated and partially amputated her left index finger.
