Talk to a SpecialistTalk to a SpecialistDF Global, Inc., a food and beverage importer, failed to comply with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under 21 CFR part 1, subpart L for imported tea products including Honey Hallabong Tea, Ginger Lemon Tea, and other teas sourced from foreign suppliers. During a March 2022 inspection, the FDA found that the company did not maintain adequate documentation and verification procedures to demonstrate that imported foods met applicable U.S. food safety standards, despite claiming to have had an FSVP in place since February 2020. The company's response indicated confusion about required documentation rather than a systemic FSVP program, representing a significant violation of Section 805 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
