They engaged OneStaff to provide temporary cleaning workers.
In May 2018, a group of cleaners on a farm in Invercargill suffered chemical burns when the sodium hydroxide-based cleaner seeped into the cuffs of their gloves.
The cleaning product had been approved in April by MPI.
Last November, AsureQuality were fined $66,000 while OneStaff were fined $38,500.
