Summary
Amore Produce, LLC, an importer of fresh produce, failed to develop and maintain a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) as required by federal law for jalapeno peppers and onions imported from foreign suppliers. The FDA conducted inspections in February 2025 and previously in June-July 2023, finding that the company did not comply with 21 CFR part 1, subpart L, which requires importers to perform risk-based verification activities to ensure imported foods meet U.S. food safety standards. The company did not respond to the FDA's Form FDA 483a observations issued on February 5, 2025, documenting the significant violations.
