Bella Mia Foods, Inc., a food and beverage importer based in Staten Island, NY, failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under 21 CFR part 1, subpart L during an inspection conducted February 1-9, 2023. The company did not perform required risk-based verification activities to ensure imported foods met applicable U.S. food safety standards, and provided inadequate responses to FDA observations that lacked supporting documentation, specific procedures, or details about their foreign suppliers and imported products. This represented a continuation of compliance issues identified across multiple prior FSVP inspections dating back to August 2017.
