FDA 483 - Mount Franklin Foods, LLC - March 02, 2023

Mount Franklin Foods LLC DBA Azar Nut Co., a peanut butter manufacturer in El Paso, TX, was cited for a deficient supply-chain program. The firm failed to ensure that raw peanuts from suppliers were adequately tested for aflatoxin, leading to the use of contaminated ingredients in their peanut butter production. This indicates a significant breakdown in their hazard control measures for food safety.
