Summary

Blue Caribbean Foods Inc., a seafood processor in St. Vincent & The Grenadines, was found to have serious violations of seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations during an FDA inspection in November 2023. The company failed to develop and implement a compliant HACCP plan as required under 21 CFR Part 123, rendering their fresh iced yellowtail and big eye tuna products adulterated. The company's December 2023 response to FDA's initial observations was deemed inadequate because it lacked supporting documentation and failed to provide a timeline for submitting a revised HACCP plan and corrective action evidence.
