The FDA is advising consumers and retailers not to eat, sell, or serve products distributed by Pan-African Food Distributors of Louisville, Kentucky. A May 2025 FDA inspection of the firm’s distribution center in Louisville, Kentucky revealed the presence of an active rodent infestation and numerous rodent droppings on multiple product containers. The state of Kentucky has mandated the firm halt operations due to the absence of a required permit and has implemented a blanket quarantine of product. The state is urging the voluntary disposal of all contaminated food and will prohibit the business from reopening until the infestation is completely addressed. FDA has recommended Pan-African Food Distributors recall all products of concern currently on the market, and the firm has agreed. FDA is issuing this public health alert to notify the customers and consumers about the public health risk that these products pose. Retailers and distributors that purchased or received products described below from Pan-African Food Distributors should not sell or serve potentially contaminated products and should clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that could have come in contact with potentially contaminated products. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-information/fda-advises-consumers-retailers-and-distributors-not-eat-sell-or-serve-products-pan-african-food?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
