FDA 483 - Americold Logistics - May 07, 2024

An FDA inspection of Americold Logistics in Sumter, SC, revealed a significant lapse in their temperature control verification processes. The firm failed to adequately calibrate thermometers used to monitor warehouse temperatures and did not consistently review calibration records as required by their own Standard Operating Procedure. This indicates a failure to ensure the safety of temperature-controlled foods and dietary supplement ingredients stored at the facility.
