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 LOW-ACID CANNED FOODS OR ACIDIFIED FOODS DUE TO INADEQUATE PROCESS CONTROL
- Product scope
- Low-Acid Canned Foods and Acidified Foods
- Last published
FDA conducts inspections to ensure commercial processors of low-acid canned food (LACF) and acidified food (AF) products adhere to, among other things, the mandatory requirements of 21 CFR Part 108 and the LACF and AF Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) regulations under 21 CFR Parts 113 and 114. FDA also conducts field exams and sample analyses of LACF and AF products offered for entry. When establishment inspections, analytical results, field exams, or other data and information demonstrate that the products were not properly manufactured to control growth and toxin production from Clostridium botulinum or other microorganisms of significance to public health, FDA may subject the commercial processor and the affected products to this detention without physical examination (DWPE), per this alert.
This alert applies only in circumstances where the firm has already determined the product is LACF or AF, as evidenced by the submission of a scheduled process to FDA.
Read the rest of the reason
This alert was established to provide for DWPE of products due to inadequate process controls, previously addressed under Import Alert #99-04.
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.
