FDA 483 - Kerry Inc - June 29, 2018

Kerry Inc. in Gridley, IL was inspected by the FDA, revealing significant issues with their food safety plan and sanitation controls, particularly concerning Salmonella contamination in their honey smacks cereal production. The firm failed to identify environmental pathogens as a hazard, reanalyze their plan despite repeated Salmonella findings linked to a multi-state outbreak, and adequately implement or monitor corrective actions and sanitation procedures. These findings indicate serious deficiencies in preventing foodborne illness.
