SDJJ Distributors, a food and beverage importer in National City, California, failed to develop, maintain, and follow a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) as required by federal law for any of its imported food products, including tamarind-mango flavored soft candy, caramelo mix, and jilote. The company did not respond to the FDA's Form FDA 483a observations issued on January 18, 2022, following an inspection conducted from January 11-18, 2022. These significant violations of 21 CFR Part 1, Subpart L represented the company's non-compliance with Section 805 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which requires importers to perform risk-based verification activities to ensure imported foods meet U.S. food safety standards.
