Mercado Hispano Distributors, LLC, a food and beverage importer in Tucker, Georgia, failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under section 805 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. During an inspection conducted February through March 2022—the company's third inspection on this issue since 2018—the FDA found that the company had not developed or maintained required FSVP records and documentation to verify that imported foods met applicable U.S. food safety standards. Despite receiving a warning in a prior inspection and acknowledging online FSVP training registration in May 2022, the company provided no documentation of corrective actions or compliance activities to address the violations.
