FDA WARNING_LETTER - Grow Gold Land, Inc. - April 14, 2025

On May 27, 2025, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Grow Gold Land, Inc. of El Monte, California, following an inspection conducted on April 14, 2025. The inspection focused on the company"s compliance with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The FDA found that the company failed to develop, maintain, and follow FSVPs for several imported food products, including Dried Lily Flower, Dried Tea Tree Mushroom, and Dried Shiitake Mushroom.

The agency noted that while the company claimed to be a "very small importer," it failed to provide documentation to verify this status. Furthermore, Grow Gold Land, Inc. did not obtain the required written assurances from its foreign suppliers to prove that their products meet U.S. safety standards. A submitted supplier compliance letter was deemed inadequate as the company failed to explain its relevance to their verification program. The FDA has requested a written response within 15 working days outlining specific corrective actions and providing evidence of compliance, such as a copy of the newly developed FSVP. Failure to address these violations may result in the refusal of imported products at the border or administrative detention.
