WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Labor
Department said on Friday that Hostess Brands   TWNK.O  is
facing a $298,000 penalty after federal investigators found that
bakery's safety and training failures led to a worker's
amputation injury.
    The investigation found that the company could have
prevented the amputation injury of a 29-year-old worker, who
lost a fingertip at a Chicago facility, the U.S. Department of
Labor said in a statement.
