The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued four citations to H. L. Foodservice, Inc. in Los Angeles following an inspection on November 14, 2024, focused on foodborne biological hazards, according to data posted on the FDA’s website.
The FDA website indicates that the citations were delivered to the company as follows:
- ‘You do not have a written HACCP plan that outlines controls for a food safety hazard that is reasonably likely to occur.’
- ‘You did not take corrective action that ensured a review of the affected product was done to determine its acceptability, affected product was not entered into commerce and the cause of the deviation was corrected.’
- ‘Your process monitoring equipment is not calibrated to ensure that it reads accurately.’
- ‘You did not review your critical control point monitoring records within one week after the records were made.’
The FDA routinely inspects facilities across the nation to determine if the workplace and their products are compliant with FDA-regulated laws and regulations implemented to improve overall public health. Inspection results are then disclosed publicly.
According to its website, the FDA is a government agency that is primarily responsible for monitoring the production and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical supplies and tobacco products for safety and quality.
