FDA 483 - Midwestern Pet Foods Chickasha Operation - February 05, 2021

Midwestern Pet Foods Chickasha Operation was cited for significant deficiencies in its food safety plan, particularly concerning preventive controls for pet food. The firm failed to adequately control aflatoxin in corn-based products, resulting in toxic levels in distributed pet foods, and did not properly implement controls for Salmonella spp. Additionally, the company failed to evaluate all foreseeable hazards in raw materials and did not reanalyze its food safety plan after changing its aflatoxin testing system.
