FDA 483 - Dalian Lingfa Food Co., Ltd. - January 19, 2024

Dalian Lingfa Food Co. Ltd. was inspected regarding its manufacturing of ready-to-eat seasoned bamboo shoots. The inspection revealed a critical failure in the firm's hazard analysis to identify the risk of Clostridium botulinum toxin formation, coupled with inadequate time/temperature controls during product staging and refrigerated storage. These deficiencies indicate a serious lack of preventive controls for a product requiring refrigeration.
