The FDA issued the first injunction against a company for the violation of the Produce Safety Rule enacted under FSMA. The injunction was issued against Fortune Food Product, Inc., an Illinois-based processor of sprouts and soy products. Inspections by the FDA found that the company failed to comply with Produce Safety and Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. The FDA conducted multiple inspections and documented unsanitary conditions showing that sprouts and soy products may have become contaminated with filth or rendered injurious to health. The FDA issued a warning letter identifying significant evidence of rodent activity and insanitary conditions and practices throughout the farm mixed-type facility. U.S. District Judge entered the consent decree of permanent injunction on September 15, 2020, between the U.S. and Fortune Food Product, Inc., its majority owner Steven Seeto and its supervisor Tiffany Jiang. The settlement prohibits the company from growing, harvesting, packing, holding sprouts and soy products at or from their facility, or any other facility until specific requirements are met. The FDA is not aware of any confirmed illnesses related to Fortune Food’s products. @ https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-issues-first-injunction-under-produce-safety-rule-illinois-based-food-manufacturer-repeated-food?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
