FDA 483 - Keefe Supply Company - July 24, 2025

During an inspection conducted from July 21-24, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Form FDA 483 to Keefe Supply Company, identifying significant issues at their ambient temperature warehouse located at 3101 Marquis Dr Ste 200. The primary observation centered on the company's failure to store or transport food products under conditions that adequately protect against contamination and deterioration. Specifically, FDA investigators noted numerous instances of damaged cardboard shipping boxes containing food products, leading to items falling onto the floor or nearby pallets. Furthermore, several sealed food product packages were observed to be visibly covered in dust, and an unknown sticky liquid was found pooled on the floor beneath pallets. These conditions indicate a lack of proper control over the storage environment. This observation suggests that food and cosmetic products intended for distribution to correctional facilities nationwide may have been held under insanitary conditions. The FDA 483 report serves as notification of objectionable conditions, and Keefe Supply Company is expected to promptly review these findings and implement comprehensive corrective actions to address the identified storage deficiencies and ensure compliance with federal food safety regulations, specifically those outlined in Section 704(b) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The company's Senior Operations Manager, Mr. Christopher Toney, was issued the report.
