J. Moniz Company Inc., a seafood importer based in Massachusetts, failed to implement required Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) controls for imported raw skipjack bonito and fresh sardines from Portugal, violating 21 CFR Part 123. The company did not perform affirmative steps to ensure their imported seafood products were processed under conditions equivalent to domestic processors, resulting in the products being deemed adulterated and prepared under insanitary conditions. The FDA inspection on June 24, 2024 identified serious violations of seafood HACCP regulations that put the safety of imported fish and fishery products at risk.
