## Details

- Record Type: WARNING_LETTER
- Company Name: Hainan Golden Spring Foods Co. Ltd.
- Inspection Date: 2021-12-15
- Product Type: Food

The primary violation was the firm's failure to implement required monitoring and verification procedures for aquaculture drug residues at the critical control point (CCP1) in their HACCP plan for raw frozen reduced oxygen packed tilapia fillets. Specifically, production records showed more drug residue tests than were actually conducted according to laboratory equipment logs for finished product lots #(b)(4) and #(b)(4). The firm could not explain the discrepancy due to a lack of sample preparation records, and laboratory employees estimated only (b)(4)% of reported tests were performed.

The submitted inter-laboratory comparison report was not representative, comparing only a single test from a single lot, and failed to demonstrate the firm's test kits could detect aquaculture drugs at the reported level compared to national standards.

Hainan Golden Spring Foods Co. Ltd. must respond within fifteen working days, outlining specific corrective actions, including
