Dry Produce Division USA LLC Warning Letter Details

Summary

Dry Produce Division USA LLC, an importer of dry produce based in Texas, failed to establish Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVPs) for multiple food products imported from Mexico, including dried Guajillo chili peppers, pumpkin seeds, and dried chickpea beans, in violation of Section 805 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and 21 CFR Part 1 Subpart L. The company had not implemented any FSVP verification activities despite a prior inspection in July 2018 that identified the same deficiency, and the FDA found no evidence of corrective action or response to the observations issued during either the 2018 inspection or the March 2021 follow-up inspection.
