Summary

Milky Way International Trading Corporation, a food and beverage importer based in California, failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under 21 CFR part 1, subpart L during FDA inspections conducted in November 2022. The company did not perform adequate risk-based verification activities for multiple food products from foreign suppliers, including Strawberry Syrup, Blueberry Syrup, and Canned Coconut Cream, to ensure they met applicable U.S. food safety standards. This was a repeat compliance issue, as the company had previously been inspected for FSVP violations in 2017 and 2020, indicating a pattern of failure to implement adequate supplier verification controls.
