FDA WARNING_LETTER - LDNN Produce Inc. - May 27, 2026

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Warning Letter to LDNN Produce Inc., located in Bayside, New York, following an inspection from May 18 to May 27, 2026. The inspection assessed the company"s compliance with Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) regulations established under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. These regulations require importers to verify that foreign-produced food meets U.S. safety standards. The FDA determined that LDNN Produce Inc. failed to develop, maintain, and follow an FSVP for several imported items, specifically including mushrooms and fresh yams. Although the company responded to initial observations by stating that records were kept at a separate location and in a foreign language, they failed to provide any supporting documentation to verify that corrective actions had been implemented. The agency emphasized that importers of fresh produce must ensure their suppliers adhere to safety standards equivalent to U.S. public health protections. LDNN Produce Inc. is required to submit a written response within 15 working days of receiving the letter. This response must detail the specific steps taken to correct the violations and include documentation, such as copies of established FSVPs and implementation records. Failure to address these concerns may lead to the FDA refusing admission of the company"s imported products or placing them on detention without physical examination.
