FDA 483 - Four-Beck Dairy Farm - August 28, 2025

An FDA inspection of Four-Beck Dairy Farm in Bartelso, IL, revealed significant violations related to incomplete treatment records and the sale of a food-producing animal with drug residues exceeding established tolerances. The farm failed to maintain proper records for a dairy cow treated with ceftiofur, which was subsequently sold for human consumption and found to have high levels of Desfuroylceftiofur in its kidney. This led to the offering of a food-producing animal for interstate commerce that contained an illegal drug residue.
