Companies tied to Dole Food Co. and Driscoll’s are under investigation for a chemical incident that sickened farmworkers.

Two chemical-drift cases in June sent 24 people to the hospital. Insecticides, fungicides and other chemicals are believed to have sickened workers picking raspberries and celery.
