## Details

- Record Type: WARNING_LETTER
- Company Name: ACCRA SUPERMARKET LLC
- Inspection Date: 2026-02-18
- Product Type: Food
- Office Name: Division of Northeast Imports 
- Summary: On April 10, 2026, the FDA issued a warning letter to Accra Supermarket of Worcester, Massachusetts, following an inspection conducted on February 18, 2026. The inspection aimed to evaluate the company"s compliance with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The primary violation identified was the company’s total failure to develop, maintain, and follow an FSVP for its imported products, specifically yams, ice cream, and shelled peanuts. These regulations are designed to ensure that foreign-produced food meets the same safety standards as food produced in the United States. While Accra Supermarket provided a preliminary response in March 2026 regarding training courses, the FDA deemed this response inadequate because the company failed to provide any supporting documentation showing actual corrective actions or completed verification records. Additionally, the FDA noted that even if the business qualifies for modified requirements as a "very small importer," it must still document that status and obtain biennial written assurances from foreign suppliers regarding their safety protocols—actions which the company had not performed. The FDA has mandated that Accra Supermarket submit a written response within 15 working days detailing their corrective measures and providing evidence of compliance. Failure to address these violations may result in the FDA refusing entry of the company’s imported foods or placing them on an import alert, which would allow for detention without physical examination at the border.
