The FDA has issued warning letters to seven food importers across five states, telling each of them that inspectors found no functioning program to verify that the foreign suppliers they buy from meet U.S. food safety standards.
The companies are Delight Distribution Inc., Piquin Y Sabores Distributors LLC, Eherbs Imports Inc., San Jorge Produce LLC, Prida Import & Export LLC, Shang Hao Jia Inc., and Beauty Store LLC, operating in California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and Texas. Between them, they import fresh produce, canned foods, dairy products, sauces, candy, and other packaged goods, according to Food Safety News, which reviewed the batch.
