Refusal charges, in plain English

  • PESTICIDE103 refused lines

    Pesticide chemical residue

    The product appeared to contain a pesticide chemical residue that makes it adulterated under section 402(a)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act, for example a residue above the U.S. tolerance or one with no U.S. tolerance for that food.

  • NO PROCESS12 refused lines

    No scheduled process filed

    The manufacturer appeared not to have filed a scheduled process with FDA, which 21 CFR Part 108 requires for low-acid canned and acidified foods, so the product is treated as made under insanitary conditions.

  • LIST INGRE7 refused lines

    Ingredients not listed

    The product is made from two or more ingredients and the label appeared not to list the common or usual name of each one (or, for a juice beverage, the percentage of juice).

    Common or usual name missing

    The label appeared not to show the common or usual name of the food.

  • NEEDS FCE6 refused lines

    Processor not registered for canned or acidified foods

  • FILTHY2 refused lines

    Filthy, putrid or decomposed substance

    The product appeared to consist in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or to be otherwise unfit for food.
