FDA 483 - Alfred Louie Inc - February 20, 2025

Alfred Louie Inc, a sprout grower in Bakersfield, CA, received a Form 483 with four observations, two of which were repeat findings, during an FDA inspection. The firm was cited for failing to adequately inspect, maintain, clean, and sanitize food contact surfaces and equipment, as well as for poor maintenance of agricultural water systems. Additionally, the inspection revealed deficiencies in personnel hygienic practices, all contributing to potential contamination of ready-to-eat mung bean sprouts.
