## Details

- Record Type: 483
- Company Name: Bag O' Grins (Tianjin) Food Ltd.
- Inspection Date: 2024-07-31
- Product Type: other
- Office Name: Baltimore District Office
- Summary: During an inspection from July 29-31, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a Form FDA 483 to Bag O' Grins (Tianjin) Food Ltd., detailing significant observations regarding their food manufacturing practices. The main violations centered on inadequate process preventive controls for ready-to-eat roasted pumpkin seeds, specifically concerning pathogenic bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella. The company's roasting process, designated as a Critical Control Point (CCP1), lacked appropriate monitoring procedures; records failed to accurately document critical temperature start times and tray weights for roasting cycles. Crucially, the firm had not validated the critical limits established for this essential heat treatment. Further issues included facility design deficiencies, specifically the presence of exposed, non-shatter-resistant light bulbs directly over exposed pre- and post-roasted pumpkin seeds, posing a contamination risk. Additionally, the company's preventive control records were found to be insufficient, lacking clear identification of the specific manufacturing facility, a repeat observation from a previous assessment. These observations indicate non-compliance with established food safety regulations. Bag O' Grins (Tianjin) Food Ltd. is required to address these findings by implementing comprehensive corrective actions and providing a formal response to the FDA.
