Wisetrade Corporation, a food importer based in Irvine, California, failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements for mushroom products imported from South Korean suppliers. During an FDA inspection conducted on February 15, 2023, the agency found that the company did not adequately verify that enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms from multiple foreign suppliers met U.S. food safety standards. The inspection was initiated following a March 2022 voluntary recall of fresh enoki mushroom products that tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes contamination, highlighting the company's failure to implement proper risk-based verification activities for these imported foods.
