FDA 483 - Gate Gourmet Inc. Unit #231 - October 21, 2025

An FDA inspection of Gate Gourmet Inc. Unit #1013, an airline catering facility in East Boston, MA, revealed two significant observations. The facility lacked adequate sanitary facilities, specifically a sink with a hose below the flood rim without back siphonage protection. Additionally, operations were not conducted under conditions to minimize food contamination, evidenced by excessive frozen condensate accumulating on surfaces and ingredient materials in the frozen storage cooler.
