FDA 483 - Kentwood Co-op, Inc. - October 07, 2021

Kentwood Co-op, Inc., an animal feed manufacturer in Kentwood, LA, was cited for failing to evaluate raw materials for mycotoxins. The firm did not test incoming bulk grain ingredients like cotton seed, oats, and corn for aflatoxin and fumonisin, despite identifying these as hazards in their own hazard analysis and requiring testing in their SOPs. This lapse in quality control could lead to the production of unsafe animal food.
