Marquis Worldwide Specialty, Inc. was cited for failing to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under 21 CFR part 1 subpart L for organic enoki mushroom and organic king oyster mushroom imported from foreign suppliers. The inspection was initiated following a voluntary recall of Organic Enoki Mushroom products in May 2021 after retail samples tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, a dangerous pathogen. The company's FSVP violations meant it had not performed adequate risk-based verification activities to ensure imported mushroom products met applicable U.S. food safety standards, placing it in non-compliance with section 805 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
