Summary

Middle East/Soli's Baking Company, Inc., a pita and bagel manufacturer in Burlingame, California, failed to maintain adequate pest control measures in its facility, resulting in insect filth being found throughout the manufacturing, packing, and holding areas during an FDA inspection from November 2024 to January 2025. The company violated Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations under 21 CFR Part 117 by not implementing effective measures to exclude pests from production areas. FDA determined that the pita and bagels produced at the facility were adulterated and potentially injurious to health due to preparation under insanitary conditions.
