FDA 483 - AROMA IMPORTS - August 26, 2021

AROMA IMPORTS received a Form FDA 483 following an inspection of its Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). The firm failed to develop an FSVP, conduct hazard analyses, or establish procedures for approving foreign suppliers, leading to the import of food, including halwa, that was violative for Salmonella. These deficiencies indicate a significant lack of controls over imported food safety.
