ANDRIGHETTO PRODUCE INC dba Shasta Produce Inc – FDA Warning Letter, Feb 10, 2026

Following inspections conducted on February 5, 6, and 10, 2026, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Andrighetto Produce Inc, doing business as Shasta Produce Inc, for significant violations of the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) regulations. These requirements, established under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, mandate that importers verify their foreign suppliers meet U.S. food safety standards. The FDA determined that the company failed to develop and maintain FSVPs for several imported products, including bitter melon, green beans, and summer squash. Additionally, the firm did not conduct or document the required review of hazard analyses for its imported foods, nor did it properly assess third-party audits used for supplier verification. The agency also noted a lack of written procedures for evaluating and approving foreign suppliers based on risk and performance. To avoid further regulatory action, such as the refusal of imported goods or detention without physical examination, the company must submit a written response within 15 working days. This response must detail the corrective steps taken, provide supporting documentation like updated FSVP records, and establish a timeline for any remaining improvements.
