Summary

Ding Tea Balboa, a food and beverage importer based in San Diego, failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under 21 CFR Part 1, Subpart L, which mandate that importers perform risk-based activities to verify their suppliers meet U.S. food safety standards. During inspections in August and September 2021, the FDA found significant violations and noted the company's inadequate response citing a one-year timeline for corrective actions without supporting documentation or records of completed actions. This warning followed a prior FSVP inspection in March 2019 that had already identified the company's failure to develop, maintain, and follow proper FSVP procedures, demonstrating a pattern of non-compliance.
