## Details

- Record Type: 483
- Company Name: Dalian Lingfa Food Co., Ltd.
- Inspection Date: 2024-01-19
- Product Type: other
- Office Name: Baltimore District Office
- Summary: Dalian Lingfa Food Co., Ltd. received an FDA Form 483 following an inspection conducted on January 17-19, 2024, at their manufacturing facility in China. The inspection identified critical issues regarding the firm's food safety management, specifically concerning the control of *Clostridium botulinum* toxin formation in their ready-to-eat vacuum-sealed seasoned bamboo shoots. The company's hazard analysis failed to identify *C. botulinum* as a hazard requiring a preventive control, despite the product's susceptibility and reliance on refrigeration. Observations highlighted a complete absence of written preventive control procedures for time/temperature management, including monitoring, corrective actions, and verification. Inadequate refrigeration practices were also noted, with products staged in non-refrigerated rooms for extended periods without temperature monitoring. Furthermore, records showed numerous instances where finished product refrigerated storage temperatures exceeded the company's own acceptable limits without any documented corrections. These findings indicate potential non-compliance with food safety regulations under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, requiring Dalian Lingfa Food Co., Ltd. to implement comprehensive corrective and preventive actions to ensure product safety.
