## Details

- Record Type: 483
- Company Name: MORINAGA SEIKA TSUKAGUCHI FACTORY
- Inspection Date: 2012-09-13
- Product Type: other
- Office Name: FDA District Office — College Park, Maryland
- Summary: An FDA inspection of Morinaga & Co., Ltd. in Amagasaki, Japan, a manufacturer of confectionery and bakery products, revealed two significant observations. The facility's packaging room floors were constructed of porous wood, preventing adequate cleaning, and a packaging machine had a missing belt piece, posing a contamination risk to chocolate products exported to the U.S. These issues indicate deficiencies in facility maintenance and food contact surface integrity.
