FDA EIR - Daawat Foods Ltd. - April 11, 2023
Daawat Foods Ltd., a foreign food manufacturer located in Mandideep, India, underwent its first FDA surveillance inspection on April 11, 2023. The inspection, conducted under compliance guidelines for Preventive Controls and Sanitary Human Food Operations (7303.040) and General Food Labeling Requirements (7321.005), assessed the company's basmati rice processing operations. A limited review of their Food Safety Plan and adherence to 21 CFR 117 Subpart C, pertaining to Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls, was also performed.
No formal FDA 483 (Inspectional Observations) was issued. However, a single verbal observation was noted: metal detector monitoring records were pre-filled with time. The company's management committed to and immediately corrected this practice during the inspection. Three consumer complaints previously known to the FDA were discussed, including one related to a rusty industrial staple found in basmati rice, which the firm stated their metal detection system would control.
