During an inspection on June 11, 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued three citations to Greenfield Produce Imports in Los Angeles for violations concerning 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 did not document that you conducted an evaluation or reviewed and assessed an evaluation conducted by another entity to determine a foreign supplier’s performance.’
- ‘An onsite audit of a foreign supplier did not consider an applicable food safety regulation.’
- ‘You did not provide an English translation of an FSVP record that you maintained in a language other than English.’
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.
