FDA 483 - John Keeler & Co. Inc. - January 13, 2026

An FDA inspection of Blue Star Foods Corp. in Doral, FL, a seafood importer, revealed a significant deficiency in their affirmative steps to ensure imported fishery products comply with Seafood HACCP regulations. The firm failed to implement proper controls for imported vacuum-packed, frozen crab meat, specifically noting missing hazard controls for Environmental Chemical and C. botulinum toxin in their foreign supplier's HACCP plan. This indicates a failure to adequately ensure the safety of imported seafood products.
