Rainfield Marketing Group, Inc. Warning Letter Details

Summary

Rainfield Marketing Group, Inc. was cited for failing to establish Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) for imported food products, specifically enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, and spinach sourced from suppliers in Korea and another country. The inspection was triggered after Listeria monocytogenes contamination was detected in the company's enoki mushrooms by the California Department of Public Health, leading to a voluntary recall and subsequent Import Alert placement. The company's failure to implement required risk-based verification activities to ensure imported foods met U.S. food safety standards constituted significant violations of section 805 of the FD&C Act and 21 CFR part 1, subpart L.
