FDA 483 - Ramar International Corporation - June 05, 2020

Ramar International Corporation, an ice cream manufacturer in Pittsburg, CA, was cited for significant deficiencies in its hazard analysis and sanitation practices. The firm failed to identify recontamination with environmental pathogens as a hazard requiring preventive controls and demonstrated inadequate measures to prevent food contamination during production, including issues with raw material disinfection and overall facility sanitation. These issues indicate a high risk of product adulteration.
