FDA Threatens China and India Fish Companies With Import Refusal, Reinspection Fees
January 29, 2014 by Brian Feito|FDA

The Food and Drug Administration recently sent warning letters to seafood companies in India and China, threatening refusal of their products at the border unless violations of the seafood hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) regulations are corrected. In a letter dated Jan. 16 (here), FDA warned Gadre Marine Export Pvt. Ltd. that deficient HACCP procedures at the company’s Gujarat, India facility rendered the company’s frozen imitation crab sticks adulterated under FDA regulations. In a letter dated Jan. 15 (here), FDA told Yuet Heung Yuen Sauce Food (Zhuhai) Ltd. that it considered oyster sauce produced at the company’s Zhuhai City, China facility to be adulterated, also because of HACCP violations.

FDA Reports Only One FSMA Mandatory Recall Order in Past Two Years
January 29, 2014 by Brian Feito|FDA

The Food and Drug Administration on Jan. 28 released its report to Congress on its use of Food Safety Modernization Act mandatory recall authority. The agency is required by FSMA to report every two years on its mandatory recall authority, which allows FDA to order the recall of dangerous food if the distributor does not voluntarily cease distribution. This year’s report is the first since FSMA was passed in 2011. According to the report, FDA has only had to issue one mandatory recall order in the past two years. The agency ordered a recall of pet treats made in Colorado by Kasel Associates Industries, after the company didn’t recall all batches of pet treats that FDA had found to be contaminated with salmonella.
