Federal judge enters consent decree against Bravo packing (a New Jersey raw animal food manufacturer)

The FDA announced that Bravo Packing, Inc., an animal food manufacturing company in Carney’s Point, New Jersey, has agreed to stop selling, manufacturing, and distributing raw pet food and comply with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The action marks the first consent decree of permanent injunction against an animal food manufacturer for violating public safety standards of Good Manufacturing Practices (part 507). The FDA claims that despite multiple inspections, notifications of violations, and recalls, this firm continued to operate under insanitary conditions and produce pet food contaminated with harmful bacteria. During inspections in 2019 and 2021, the FDA found evidence of significant food safety violations, including grossly unsanitary conditions and the failure to follow CGMP regulations for animal food. Multiple samples of finished raw pet food products collected during the inspections tested positive for Salmonella. Environmental samples from the two inspections also tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. @ https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/federal-judge-enters-consent-decree-against-new-jersey-raw-animal-food-manufacturer?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
