LECS USA Inc., a food and beverage importer, failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under 21 CFR Part 1, Subpart L during an FDA inspection conducted on November 10, 2021. The company claimed to qualify as a "very small importer" to reduce compliance obligations but did not provide documentation proving it met the regulatory definition of a very small importer as defined in 21 CFR 1.500. These significant violations demonstrated the company was not performing the required risk-based verification activities to ensure imported foods met applicable U.S. food safety standards.
