Moises Gardea, a food importer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, failed to develop, maintain, and follow a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) for imported foods including Asadero Cheese, Mennonite Cheese, and Asadero Cheese Tortilla Style, as required by section 805 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and 21 CFR part 1, subpart L. During FDA inspections conducted in March 2023 and July 2021, investigators identified significant violations of FSVP requirements designed to ensure imported foods meet U.S. food safety standards. The company did not respond to the Form FDA 483a observations issued on March 24, 2023, documenting these compliance failures.
