FDA 483 - Darling Ingredients Inc. dba Bakery Feeds - December 18, 2018

An FDA inspection of Darling Ingredients Inc. dba Bakery Feeds in Butler, KY, revealed significant deficiencies in the handling of raw materials for animal food production. The firm failed to adequately inspect and segregate incoming materials, leading to the processing of non-edible foreign materials such as plastic and general trash. These conditions indicate a lack of control over ingredient suitability and potential contamination in the manufacturing process.
