Yeshua Bendito, C.A., a Venezuelan seafood processor, was cited for serious violations of the Seafood HACCP regulation (21 CFR 123) during an FDA inspection in June 2024, rendering their cooked ready-to-eat refrigerated and frozen crab meat in reduced oxygen packaging adulterated. The facility failed to conduct or implement a compliant hazard analysis for their RTE crab meat product and did not respond to the FDA's observations following the foreign remote regulatory assessment. These compliance failures violated requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, specifically section 402(a)(4), which addresses products prepared, packed, or held under conditions that may render them injurious to health.
