FDA 483 - Signature Aviation, LLC - June 04, 2025

An airline servicing station in Scottsdale, Arizona, received an FDA Form 483 following an inspection conducted from June 3-4, 2025. The inspection identified three significant observations related to sanitation and food safety. First, the firm failed to conduct operations under conditions necessary to minimize potential microbial growth and food contamination. This was evidenced by the observation of debris and rust within its ice machine, alongside incomplete or unclear maintenance records regarding cleaning activities. Second, the company did not establish or maintain adequate records documenting temperature controls for various catered meals stored on-site, despite having temperature recording devices. These meals require strict temperature management for safety. Third, the firm failed to properly maintain its potable water servicing area, specifically noting an untagged backflow prevention device on a potable water hydrant and the absence of documentation for its annual inspection. These findings, issued under Section 704(b) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, indicate that food and water at the facility may have been prepared or held under insanitary conditions. The company is expected to address these observations by implementing comprehensive corrective actions to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and prevent contamination.
