FDA 483 - Bag O' Grins (Tianjin) Food Ltd. - July 31, 2024

An FDA inspection of Bao O' Grins (Tianjin) Food Ltd., a manufacturer of roasted pumpkin seed kernels, revealed significant deficiencies in their food safety plan. Observations included inadequate process preventive controls for pathogenic bacteria, an unsanitary facility design with exposed light bulbs over food, and a repeat observation regarding insufficient record-keeping for facility identification across multiple manufacturing locations. These issues indicate a failure to ensure the safety and quality of products for the USA market.
