DOE ordered Beverage Air Corporation to pay a $7,252 civil penalty after Beverage Air had manufactured and distributed in commerce in the U.S. multiple units of the noncompliant commercial freezer model MF48-S (also known as MF48 Deep Well Freezer).  The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and Beverage Air.

On January 23, 2019, DOE also issued a Notice of Noncompliance Determination to Beverage Air finding that commercial freezer model MF48-S (also known as MF48 Deep Well Freezer) does not comply with applicable energy conservation standards based on DOE testing and the company's admission.
