Summary

HK Produce Group Inc. DBA Y2S Trading Inc., a food importer based in Long Island City, NY, failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under the FD&C Act. The inspection was triggered by FDA samples detecting Listeria monocytogenes, a human pathogen, in four separate entries of fresh enoki mushrooms imported by the company, leading to Import Alerts placing those products under Detention Without Physical Examination (DWPE). The company's suppliers in specific locations had produced contaminated mushrooms on multiple occasions, indicating systematic failures in the firm's risk-based supplier verification and food safety controls.
