## Details

- Record Type: EIR
- Company Name: Cactus Botanics CA Inc
- Inspection Date: 2021-05-19
- Product Type: other
- Office Name: Los Angeles District Office
- Summary: An FDA inspection of Cactus Botanics CA Inc., an ingredient supplier warehouse for dietary supplements located in City of Industry, CA, was conducted from May 17 to May 19, 2021. This initial inspection followed FDA Compliance Program 7303.040, which governs dietary supplement ingredient suppliers under the FD&C Act. Although no formal FDA 483 Inspectional Observations were issued, the inspection highlighted two main areas for improvement that were discussed with management.

Firstly, FDA investigators observed pallets of product being stored directly against warehouse walls. This practice was identified as a potential harborage for pests, contravening good storage practices. Secondly, a dead cockroach was found in a storage room within the facility. While this particular room did not contain FDA-regulated products, it prompted a discussion regarding the firm's pest control measures, which primarily involved the use of household sprays instead of a professional service.

Cactus Botanics CA Inc. management promptly addressed these concerns during the inspection. They committed to relocating products away from the walls and demonstrated immediate efforts to do so. Furthermore, the company pledged to engage a professional pest control firm within 90 days to enhance facility sanitation and pest management practices. The inspection concluded without formal observations, with the firm promising to implement the discussed corrective actions.
