Nestle Purina Pet Care Co. – FDA 483, May 2, 2024

This FDA Form 483 document details an observation made during an inspection of Nestle Purina Pet Care Co. The core issue identified is the facility's failure to conduct a reanalysis of its food safety plan when appropriate.

Specifically, the observation states that Nestle Purina Pet Care Co. was informed by an FDA representative about a new potential hazard in pet food manufactured at their facility. Despite this notification, as of April 30, 2024, the local management team indicated they were unaware of this new potential hazard and, consequently, had not performed a reanalysis of their food safety plan. This suggests a deficiency in the facility's hazard analysis and preventive controls for human food, as required by regulations. The implication is that the company's food safety plan may not adequately address all known or reasonably foreseeable hazards, potentially impacting product safety and regulatory compliance.
