Apna Foods Imports Co. Warning Letter Details

Summary

Apna Foods Imports Co. failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements for imported food products, specifically black gram split and semolina sourced from foreign suppliers. The company did not independently conduct required hazard analyses for the foods it imported; instead, it relied entirely on hazard analyses provided by its foreign supplier without performing its own risk-based verification activities as mandated by 21 CFR part 1, subpart L. Despite previous inspections in 2018 and 2020, the company remained non-compliant and failed to respond to FDA's Form 483a observations issued during the November 2021 inspection.
