PHILADELPHIA (CBS)—The federal government has filed a lawsuit against a Philadelphia retail store after they allegedly sold "misbranded" labeled chicken that was left in unacceptable conditions.

Authorities say they are seeking to permanently prevent the business from further selling chickens that are improperly labeled and held under insanitary conditions.
The Poultry Products Inspection Act prohibits companies and individuals from selling "misbranded" or "adulterated" poultry.
