East Bay Wholesale Corporation, a food importer, failed to develop, maintain, and follow a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) for imported foods including bananas, rice vermicelli, and sweet corn, in violation of section 805 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and 21 CFR part 1, subpart L. The company did not respond to the FDA Form 483a observations issued following the September 2-3, 2025 inspection, despite previous inspections in 2021, 2022, and 2024 that should have prompted compliance. These significant violations indicated the company was not adequately verifying that its imported foods met applicable U.S. food safety standards.
