FDA 483 - JM Smuckers LLC - February 13, 2019

An FDA inspection of JM Smuckers LLC in Scottsville, KY, revealed a significant issue with allergen control procedures. The firm's Quality Assurance Manager confirmed that sanitation and allergen verification activities are not performed between the production of peanut butter and hazelnut spread sandwiches, despite the hazelnut product label including a "Contains Peanuts" statement. This indicates a potential for allergen cross-contact.
