FDA 483 - Overhill Farms Inc - September 26, 2025

An FDA inspection of Overhill Farms Inc. in Vernon, CA, revealed two significant issues. The firm failed to adequately clean non-food contact surfaces, specifically allowing employees to use dirty personal drills for assembling food-contact equipment without proper sanitization. Additionally, the firm did not implement effective process preventive controls, as evidenced by a metal detector malfunction that lacked proper root cause analysis and corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
