US Gulf Coast Trading Co., Inc., a food warehouse operator in Houston, Texas, was cited for serious Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) violations and failure to implement hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls under 21 CFR Part 117. During an August 2023 inspection, FDA investigators collected filth samples from multiple areas throughout the facility and detected rodent contamination, rendering the stored food products adulterated under federal law due to preparation, packing, and storage under insanitary conditions. The company's warehoused food products—including refrigerated, frozen, and ambient items—were deemed unfit for human consumption and potentially injurious to health based on the presence of filth and inadequate sanitation controls.
