FDA 483 - John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. - April 12, 2017

An FDA inspection of TreeHouse Private Brands, Inc. in Lakeville, MN, a snack food and cereal manufacturer, revealed a significant lapse in production procedures. The firm failed to take adequate precautions to prevent allergen cross-contact and contamination. This was evidenced by an employee handling raw ingredients and work in progress without changing gloves after touching raw ingredient cases, tools, and their face.
