What the alert covers and why FDA issued it
FDA's wording, with FDA's change markers removed.
- Official title
- DETENTION WITHOUT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF FRESH PRODUCE THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PREPARED, PACKED OR HELD UNDER INSANITARY CONDITIONS
- Product scope
- Produce (fruit or vegetable)
- Last published
Produce is vulnerable to contamination with pathogenic microorganisms if exposed to insanitary conditions during growing, harvesting, packing, holding, manufacturing, processing, or transportation. Multiple foodborne illness outbreaks have been linked to produce that was likely contaminated as a result of insanitary conditions during growing, harvesting, packing, holding, manufacturing, processing, or transportation. Produce is of special concern because in many instances it is consumed without further treatment to adequately destroy or remove pathogenic microorganisms.
FDA may document insanitary conditions that may have resulted in the contamination of produce with human pathogens during an inspection of an establishment that grows, harvests, packs, holds, manufactures, processes, or transports produce. FDA may also use analytical evidence or epidemiological and traceback evidence to establish that produce was grown, harvested, packed, held, manufactured, processed, or transported under insanitary conditions that may have resulted in contamination of the produce with human pathogens.
Read the rest of the reason
This IA may be used in conjunction with other IAs addressing adulteration under 402(a)(1) of the FD&C Act, including: 21-17, 25-21, 99-23.
Listing on an import alert is FDA's notice to the firm and a fact an importer must consider in its supplier evaluation under 21 CFR 1.505. What the red, green and yellow lists mean.
